Well, the hott and cold flashes have offically stopped and the fevers have finally broke again they found out that I had a bladder infection that they have been treating with meds... I have been doin my nightly dressing change without the iv meds and just the oral ones so that is a huge step even though instead of doin the 4 cc's they were doin by iv they are now doin 6 cc's orally but its still a huge step that i can do that part with just orals now.. The only thing I can not do yet without the iv meds is the morning dressing change when they do the pulsivac which is cleaning it out so I get the 6 cc's of meds by oral and then I get 2 cc's by push iv right before the dressing change.. I have also cut back on the pain meds a lot.. yesterday I only took 2 between the dressing changes and the day before i took 1 and before that i took none.. but it all depends on how much activitive I do during the day and if I get up in my wheelchair during the day or not because if I do i'm not use to the new seat yet so that causes me a little more pain still... There is finally tissue growing behind the hamstring muscle woo hooo!!! And the ones behind the knees are lookin very good just hopefully a few more days and they will be completely healed up.. Anyways, thats all the news I have for right now ,but please keep me in ur thoughts still since there is still a long ways to go for this healing process... Next step is to the nursing home to finish healing up when the doctor finally gives the OK!!!! Anyways, I have a lap top now for anyone who did not know so feel free to leave me a message on here, sb or yahoo anytime u'd like and i'll get back to you as soon as I can if i'm not here right then.. Love ~ASh~
