Well, my pain is slowly fading back. I still hurt with certain movements, but a lot better than it was last week. I went to start my physical therapy today, but they can't take me back without approval from the doctor. I called the doctor last week and never got a call back and the therapist sent him a FAX this morning and have not heard anything either. Having a great doctor is two sided. You get the best for treatment but too busy for the extra stuff. It will probably be February before I get something saying I could start this week. My therapist is just being protective of my future. I can't be mad for someone looking out for me!
My next doctors appointment is tomorrow for the plastic surgeon. Today, the doctor I saw was for "internal medicine". He is great one to see for this. He explains everything in detail and is great to deal with. He was a little concerned about one of my levels he saw on a blood test but was concerned that my surgery may have caused it to look high. Another blood test today to tell him where I am and which way I need to go. He told me to stay on the anti-biotics until we know for sure. This test today will tell him if the current medicine is working or needs to changed out. The plastic surgeon I see tomorrow is good, too, but he has an accent and I can't understand everything he says. He is another one of the good ones that knows how to take care of his patients. I think the infection is under control or he would not have closed me up so fast. I am sure he is not ready to take out my stitches, but I can hope he is ready. I will know tomorrow for sure. I will also ask him while I am there about when I can return to work. He or my main doctor will make a decision on this soon. Most people want time off of work, but after six months off, I just want to go back.
I think this is enough for today. May God be with you if you need him. He is willing to help you if He is asked. He was a major part of me still being here. His actions and those doctors and nurses he put on me to make everything right, went well. If they were doing something questionable, my dear wife was there to help them fix it. Four days left until Tiffaney's graduation and 19 days until Megan's wedding. These are part of life's reasons why God left me here. I could not miss these things! I know there are more things in my future that I don't know about, yet, too.
I would like to say thank you to all of our friends that came by last weekend and a special thanks to Bruce Walters for the special gift he presented to me. Best friends are special friends to have. If you have one, let them know just how special they are in your life!
Love to you all,
