Surgery was only partially successful. More to come. Cognitively he is quite altered with anesthesia.
He has an open wound on his side that needs to heal from the inside out. We have to change the dressing every hour.
Next kidney surgery will be after Christmas. Trying to get Pancreas Biopsy rescheduled.
Aunt will be having additional scans next week to determine dosing of chemo and aim of radiation.
I'm exhausted both mentally and physically.
That's a lot for anyone to have to deal with. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sluggy
DeleteMental exhaustion is physically exhausting. Do you have anyone who comes to relieve you at all with the changing of dressings? I hope he heals as he should. It sounds like aunt has a way to go.
ReplyDeleteSister helps. What made it even harder is DD had a gum graft and it has knocked her down more than any of us expected. Holidays and performances, concerts, etc with students isn't making it any easier. Here's to the New Year!
