Waiting
One of Bob's least favorite pastimes is waiting. Wait for the dietician to bring food. Wait for the nurse to answer the call bell. Wait for the transport van to pick you up and take you to your doctor's appt. Wait in your surgeon's office for him to come in and examine you, while your muscles are aching and you're exhausted just from the trip.
And more waiting today: Wait for the care team's weekly meeting to determine a discharge date.Then they decided Bob will be able to go home this Friday! So in our house, Christmas is coming a little early... We'll be doing our happy dance (or maybe just some jazz hands) on Friday, December 15th!
Home Health Care
Bob will be going to outpatient OT and PT, and home health care will be coming to do vacuum wound dressing changes at home on M/W/F. No word yet on how much longer he'll be using the negative pressure wound healing system.
Weight Loss
I do not recommend Bob's weight loss method that was utilized over the last 22 days, and neither does he. He's lost 29 pounds! Unfortunately, some of that was muscle, but he'll be working on getting back into shape.
