Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi everybody, I just wanted to take a few minutes and check-in. I have been home from the hospital two weeks and I can see quite a bit of improvement. The three IV infusions (antibiotics) per day are getting old, but I have a few more weeks to go so I can't get discouraged yet. I can walk a little with my walker and I am putting more weight on that septic knee every day. I have noticed a couple of things...the knee is swelling more now than before and I am running a fever. I tend to believe it is the Stills ( only controlled by prednisone now), but will see the Infectious Disease Dr. tomorrow. We'll see what he says. My home health nurse took the stitches out of my groshong catheter in my chest Friday. Had a sad day yesterday. My aunt died on Thurs. morning from Lung Cancer and we gathered yesterday in a little country cemetery to lay her to rest. Being a former Hospice Social Worker, I look at this knowing her suffering has ended, but the hole is still there. So, I have been reading most of the posts and I have noticed no word recently from Jen. Has anyone heard from her or been in contact? She was having quite a personal crisis the last time I read anything and I just hope she is okay. To all who feel well today...enjoy every minute of it. To those who do not feel well, let us rest and dream of what we will do when we feel better. Stay Healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
