Finally, all the staff are starting to agree that Dennis will go home tomorrow. This is to allow him 4 full days on the vancomyocin post op. So this day for Dennis was a restful day of knowing that he has 24 more hours of constant care and then facing the reality of being at home. The wound vac is installed and pumping away. Not as bad of a procedure as he anticipated and wound care nurses were very chatty and informative and willing to answer our stupid questions. Glad that is over.
We spent a quiet evening. I went to class because he was doing well just to hear the vernacular and get to know some of the students. My role as student has definitely taken a back seat to the role of well spouse/ill person's advocate. I really want to be the student. I'm feeling my grasp on keeping up slipping away.
