We went to the PS this morning. There is a significant amount of granulation in the two small wounds on the suture line. He used silver nitrate on it which will shrink the granulation. He wants us to keep the area moist, no scabbing, so that whatever is in there can come out. Otherwise, it becomes infected. I am so glad we saw him today. He said this is not unusual for radiated tissue. It takes longer for the tissues to bond around the metal. Going back in two weeks.

EZJim, he confirmed what you said that the number of total dives is up to the HBOT Drs. But we aren't going there yet.

The intermittant stabbing jaw pain that Clark gets could be related to nerve damage. It may resolve or...we'll handle it.

On the way home I needed to stop into the grocery store to get a few things. Clark came in with me and was choosing foods for himself. This is big. He had no real interest in eating since his surgery in November. The appointment definitely made him feel so much better.

The sun is shining and it is going up to 40F.
