4 days of the wound vac. It’s a machine the size of my purse hooked up via tubing to suck the swelling away. I must carry this with me all the time.
3x a week they change the foam packing inside the pocket. That is hugely painful despite my high dose of pain meds. This is expected to last 2-6 weeks until the pocket basically has shrunk away.
Then they switch to gauze packing for a while and finally an external dressing.
I have in home nurses that change the bandaging 2x a week and once a week is at a doc appt.
Really could use prayers for healing. I want to be able to care for Asher and be able to do basic life stuff to care for me. Being an invalid for a month so far has not been fun for any of us.
On the plus side, I have no choice but to rest. Today I managed to shave my legs and take a long nap. Matt even got a little rest in as well.
