after 4 weeks, 4 different hospitals, several ER visits, tests, scans, am finally home now. wound vac back on monday for what i am hoping is the smooth road to recovery without interruption. while i know many suffer much more, this has drained me physically, emotionally and yes tested my faith a bit. but once rested and nutritionally solid again, will be ready to take it on. a shower and shampoo today was the best beginning. all medical people say it looks very good. healing evident and very pink. my right hand is nearly all pink and all fingers move freely. so very thankful to all caregivers north and south. prayers still needed to keep spirits up coping with limitations and for transportation to various appointments...and i will paraphrase here..."i thank my God for you..." can add in my daughter struggling with annoying health issue herself......blessings!
I didn't realize that you weren't home when you last wrote about this experience. I'm glad things are looking good with your hand and fingers, Grace. These kinds of events can drain us in so many ways and without sleep/rest it seems like the challenges are insurmountable. You've come a long way and there are plenty who care for and about you. If I lived closer, I'd offer rides to your appointments. Otherwise, know that I'm thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery.

ReplyDeleteI bet it feels good to get a shower and all cleaned up. Hope your back home and settled in - what an ordeal
ReplyDeleteGosh, hang in there. Sounds like you have turned the corner and will be back to sewing soon. What an ordeal you have been through.
ReplyDeleteYou have been though so much and are still able to keep your faith and find joy in the journey. You are an excellent example.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that the healing seems to be progressing as it should. I hope you continue to have the care, the transportation, and the hope that you need. And somewhere amidst all the trials I pray that there will be glimmers of joy to keep you going!
