Again a few days of not much happening. Got a good report from Dr. Hosenpud Wednesday. Pump speed adjusted again since there is a software glitch at the speed it had been set to. The numbers were jumping all over the place and it was updating the readings every minute so there was no history. Also took him off another medication.

Rehab has gone well this week although he was really worn out yesterday and his leg was really hurting him. It's hurting now where it was numb before so Dr. Hosenpud thinks that it is recovering from the damage during the surgery. He has not had a problem with his calf and foot for a few days even though it is staying swollen most of the time. The bone scan is scheduled right before Thanksgiving so we will know something before long.

His drive line site was getting irritated this week so we had to change the way the line is laying. He also can't wear a belt anymore unless he wears his pants at his hips instead of his waist. To him that is extremely uncomfortable. He also can't wear his holster belt because of the way it lays on the drive line. So, he's back to wearing the vest that doesn't fit well. The batteries also don't stay stable so they move a lot which throws off his balance. Hopefully when the drive line heals completely and the wound closes he will be able to wear the belt again since the drive line will have a little more play in it.

We've not done anything today except watch movies. I don't think we watched an entire movie at any one time. It seems like we turned to each one in the middle of it. Do you think we are getting bored?

Hopefullly it will be warmer tomorrow and we can walk some. We did take a long walk Thursday and he did fine. Walked about 15 minutes around one of the blocks here and he wasn't winded at all when we got back.

All for tonight. Have a great night.
