Wound Doctor Is Happy for the 3rd Week in a Row
By Daddy
Unknown — The wound is back to being smaller but I still have to go to the vascular consult on Wednesday. My blood sugar is back in the ~150 range which got me a smile from the doctor and a "let's see if we can keep it there!" New wound nurse has convinced everybody that I should be able to resume showers which is a good thing as sponge baths are for the birds. It was an 106° day so I'm a bit grumpy but getting less so as the temperature drops.
The Flirt4free commission is going to be much lower that usual, so it's one of those months to watch every penny. I still have the car insurance to pay which is lower than expected. Turns out there is an option to pay half upfront which I can scrape up now, so boom it's paid!
To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page which has been updated with the new address.
