I'm having trouble finding at my living room computer. I have mentioned in past posts that I have a PC in the bedroom but the soundcard which includes any microphone functions no longer works. I only have voice recognition software on the computer living room. I'm supposed to stay out of the chair most of the time and so I don't have access. Of course I made this much longer than it should have taken because I was mentioned here and overthink everything.
The point I'm trying to get to is that is getting very hard for me to figure out my schedule with the limitations of the chair and spending more of my day in bed. I suppose I should've switched the computers a few weeks ago but I don't know how long it will take to heal. I still have my old mentality from decades of just splashing some alcohol on my wound throwing a bandage on it. It is in my wounds which I got quite often because I have always been a little klutzy. So I love the same thing for these I'm finding out that everything different now. I believe it because my circulation is very poor because I cannot move. I Used to be able to have my wounds heal in a couple weeks. I find it so difficult to get usWe went to the wound clinic yesterday. The doctor said pressure sore was getting better and the weird sore on my leg they got because I fell sleep while I had a motorized massager under my calf. I feel pretty stupid about it because I thought more than once I was getting sleepy and I to call my wife in to turn it off. But I convinced myself I would only be asleep for a little bit. I was the stupid part. I woke up an hour and a half later. The wound just kept getting bigger and bigger and now is needing redressed every day. Couple weeks ago the doctor use a scalpel to cut the dead tissue out of both wounds. It felt like somebody was pitching me with their fingernails. She asked if it hurt and I said not real bad because I was pretty sure if I said her she would give me novocaine shots. Experience has taught me that they overcame shots often hurt worse. I have found that I can tolerate quite a bit of pain if I know it will end soon. Lingering pain is what I find difficult to bear.
I asked the doctor in a blunt of matter because I did not want sugarcoated answer. I asked if there was any hope and either wound was eventually close up. I have a friend who is in a wheelchair from a spinal accident and this was unique him but he had a wound on his tailbone and bothered him for years. Know the situation is different but I have been having doubts that my pressure sore wou golf ld ever heal I think I got a straight answer that it was heading in the right direction. She would not commit to a timeframe I was encouraged that it was a little bit better. I again I have to thank my wife for redressing both wouns each night. Good golly Miss Molly I sure am a lot of trouble.
eSo long story yields the point that yesterday's visit was on the positive side. The news was good but not great but I believe I got a straight answer. I know some doctors want to sugarcoat things but that doesn't work with me. I think to literally and need a blunt answer. I have other news about my health but this post getting so long that I think I will make a second post if I have enough breath. Thank you for being my blog appreciate you all.
