Not Who I Was Before - Tumblr Posts

Finally! I am out of the hospital!

Hello dear readers!

It’s true!

I am free!

We spoke with a wound care specialist late yesterday and we tried new treatments for the wound and it took well overnight.

So now I can go 2-3 days without messing with the wound, giving me time to have home health nurse come and administer the new treatment.

My oldest child and disabled mother were both taught how to do the treatment in case the dressing needed changed before the nurse could come.

Both of them are very secure in believing that they can do the treatment without having any problems

The walking is exhausting and I have to use a walker because I get light headed after about 50-80 feet.

Also sitting in the car or on a chair hurts because of where the wound is.

I am not allowed home because it two story so I am staying elsewhere for now.

I physically do not feel like the same person that I was before all this.

I am weak and constantly tired.

I have NEVER been the weak one in my family.

I have NEVER been the one cared for in the family

Everyone came to me to take care of them and came to me for physical and emotional strength.

I am in totally unknown territory.

But on the plus side… no more hospital food, hospital beds, 3am vital checks, 5am blood draws, and incessant visitors barging in.

lol
