Well, what can I say........Mark, called me on my cell phone Sunday morning around 8am. I did not answer and he called the house asking where I was and what time I was going to be back?
I was tickled pink!!!!! So we made a few calls that day and I left the phone in his bed.....big mistake!!!!! Drugs and a phone ....not a good idea......He proceeded to wake me up at 3:30 am and you know I don't get to bed until 12-1 am. Let me just say, he was VERY MESSED UP!!!!! Dolada (spelling??) is a very strong medicine and they gave him Vicoden on top of it!!!! Then, lack of sleep. So, if any one got a phone call from Mark between 3-and 7 am. I am so sorry.... I finally called the nurses station and had the phone taken away......They thought it was quite funny......... Monday, his hemoglobin was low and they had to give him 2 units of blood. He sat in a orthopedic chair and then I discovered that he had a bandage on his back. Well, his backside ( pelvic surgery area)was healing so good. That is, on the outside. Within a day his incision is pink anddraining ulgy fluid!!! He must have a huge abscess inside the wound. So, I made the Orthopedic doctors look at it. They are going to have to open it up and wash out all the infection out.......Another surgery!!!!! It's not bad enough having a 8 inch wound on the front with staples in it. So I guess we now know why his white blood count never went down to where it should be. Mark, again is out of intermedite care and in his own room. I think we will again be at the hospital for the remainder if the week. We are praying that we can return to TIRR soon. He was doing so good there....transfering himself to a wheel chair and doing WITHOUT so much pain medication.!!!! I did return to my job last week..... or I tried. Thank You, Baker Petrolite for allowing me time to be with Mark. Mark's parents will be with Mark, alot this week again so that I can work ........ Lord, give me strength. I keep on saying one day at a time...... day in and out. I know Mark and I are Blessed to have so many people that care.... Thank You all. Betty
