I think that I see some improvement over night. I can now put pressure on the areas that are trying to swell back up and the stuff is draining back out. I am having tons pf drainage so I'm sure that is good. I did register a fever yesterday at the doctor's offices.
I am so grateful for the support guys. When I am not getting treatment I am Asleep, but I check in as much as I can. The sleep has to help me heal to I believe.
Off for the dressing change and the IV and then more sleep. Rainy, cold and muddy here again.
