Doctor,Doctor.....Give Me the News.

Shell had two appointments today. Both were very encouraging. The first was with her GP regarding some questions about therapy,vitamins and medication. Shell will receive physio therapy after she heals from surgery. The second appointment was with Dr. Souf the plastic surgeon. He feels things are progressing and that there are positive signs of blood flow. He prescribed an antibiotic as the last drain will stay in for one more week.
Needless to say, these two appointments took a lot out of Shell. She was exhausted when we returned home. Though tired she was elated with the news and her spirits are good. We both were a bit on edge hoping that things were alright.
As well, Dr. Souf was joking that they may hire me, when I brought out all my recordings with regards to blood pressure and drainage. I'm wondering if they let you challenge the LPN course. Would be something to fall back on.
I would like to thank Jim and Rita for giving us a ride today. The appointment was downtown with parking challenges,so this allowed me to walk Shell in and out with no problems. Jim and Rita are my old billets and have remained very close to our family since I lived there.
Our next big hurdle is getting pathology report. We are hoping for best case scenario.
Shell has been making some suggestions about taking over the blog again. We will make sure she is up for it, because this is not easy. :)

  6. Great to hear some positive feedback from the doctors! Shel - I think you might have to take the Blogger down if you want to be the Blog Boss again! Honestly though - and I'm sure I can speak for everyone - he has done an amazing job keeping everyone posted on daily news!

    One day at a time and we will continue to pray for a good report from pathology! I have a feeling you'll be ready for a Kolymanka in no time!

    Thinking of you always,
    The Wagar's
