Well, we made it to the dr. and back. The nurse, Karen numbed the area on the outside, then told Preston it would hurt like someone punched him and knocked the wind out of him. She yanked a couple of times and out it came. He complained for a few minutes about the pain, but then she had him smiling and told him she loved him. He said he loved her too. I hugged her and thanked her for being so nice and all. We won't have to go back there again if it closes up ok. He has a bandage over it, and we have to change the bandages a few times over the next few days, but within 48 hr. it should start closing up. Right now food and liquids are leaking out some. I am glad it is over. Now if it will close up, we will be fine.
Our transporters were a husband/wife team with Med Shore and they are real sweet. They are not supposed to stop anywhere with a patient in, but Preston wanted McDonald's breakfast so they stopped and let me go in and get it. So that was sweet of them. We have had them before. We will miss all the Med Shore people when we no longer need stretcher transport. Until we get a ramp though, we will need it unless they want to take the wheelchair backwards down all 14 steps! That would not be a good idea I don't think.
Well, been doing housework and helping Missie study for a test since I have been back. Not gonna do much else today. I took all my meds. last night and am not aching nearly as bad today, thank the Lord for that! Yesterday it was terrible.
You all have a nice weekend.
