08.30.2010 Monday Wound Vacs Suck! (Actually)

My hopes of spending Labor Day Weekend in Fort Worth evaporated today. The team of wound nurses descended on Den and his foot and gave me a tutorial on what to expect with this surgery. This is going to be alot of work. I'm trying to figure out how to get the house in order for Home Health Care to come in and not turn us into the health department. With James moving out, the studio moving to the new backyard shed, with the creation of the garden shed and cleaning out for garage sales, the entire place is a mess. I took the afternoon off of hospital duty to chase down a new bed for Dennis so that his foot will not be jostled. Called James to come and get the rest of his stuff from his room and cleaned it up to move the new bed in. Cleared a path through the library and rescheduled the wiring of the sheds for a week later. I've told family members how they could help, but no one has volunteered. Alot to get done in a short time. Creativity will be a necessity to make this work. Also, I've decided that creativity can be interchanged with survival in instances where it is called for...like in hospital settings. The "fun" aspect of creativity quickly subsides when it's a serious condition.
