Day 34

Wound Healing   
   As previously shared in this blog, we've been keeping track of the wound measurements taken during wound-vac dressing changes. I don't post the actual (graphic) pictures of the wound here, but for those of you interested, here's a chart Bob asked me to make. He wants to see the trend of growth and be able to visualize the actual improvements. 

Impatient
   Some days are harder than others now - healing, re-growing tissue and building back muscle can be a slow and tiring effort. Bob continues walking daily, his appetite's slowly improving, and he's getting lots of rest, but I think he's becoming impatient with the pace of his recuperation. Small steps every day. I remind him this is still part of the marathon; this was never a sprint.
