Bah, that’s minor compared to the lock down you’re in. Haha
Its not bad living way up in the boonies. We aren’t nearly as Kanastan as the rest of the country. Dealing with Stupid people is the hardest part.

 

That's the good weapons grade stuff Tracy. Cheryl had a PIC line for her knee infection that damn near killed her. I got to play Dr Bob 2X a day by injecting that (along with three other things meant to prevent clotting and infection). It was a bummer but the stuff worked and knocked the bad stuff out of her. Just make sure to use those alcohol pads (15 seconds as I recall) to clean the injection port before every injection. The infectious disease folks will probably replace the line a few times. Make sure it's not uncomfortable or pulling. It shouldn't hurt. If it does, they need to fix it.

I would also consider talking to an attorney. Sounds possible you weren't given proper medical attention.

 

True enough buddy, but hopefully my restrictions will be lifted a bit here in a few weeks.

Mike and Julia have been pretty aggravated that they can't cross the border. I think they were hoping to go to AZ for a while this year

 

Thats the biggest downfall. Not being able to travel and seeing you guys.

 

Yeah first clean the port, then the saline to make sure then line isn't clogged. Then comes the meds for an hour and half. The more saline to clear the line and heparin as an anticoagulant.

From all appearances the infection was introduced during the first surgery (quad bypass) back in April hence them having to go back in and remove the appliances that were holding my sternum together.

 

Looking forward to a chance to get together again. Hopefully it will happen. I was headed for the west coast. Doc said if I had taken off on the bike I would probably have come back in a box.

Well alrighty then! I guess there's next year.

 

This is absolutely the best outcome.

 

It’s a good thing you didn’t go.

 

Totally agree

 

Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful to be above ground, but aggravated that I'm not healed up at this point and that I have had to go through 2 additional procedures after the heart surgery that should not have been necessary.
