I'm Alive

Mar 11, 2010

I don't have any pain so I haven't needed to take the pain medication.  I never expected that.  I was feeling really good and up and walking that night.  The nurses were amazed that I was getting around so well and so often.

I have a red patch on my neck and chest.  They don't itch or cause discomfort.  But I have swelling and rash on my hands and feet.  I can hardly clench my fist closed and the itching is so intense that it's almost impossible to not scratch.  Then it burns red hot.  It began in the hospital and they have me Benadryl.  Saw the doctor today and they want me to take Benadryl and soak in Domeboro.  They could give me a cortizone shot but that would inhibit wound healing.  They want an update tomorrow to see if there's any improvement.

I'm glad to be home resting, napping, and of course walking.
