Twas the Night Before

a doctor's appointment and all thru the house the creatures were all astirring and not quiet as a mouse. Ha ha!

My husband has an appointment tomorrow with a vascular doctor to have a look at that pesty wound on his left heel. I hope that it will be good news and that he will tell us that there is plenty we can do to save his foot. I don't think it's to the stage of where we may be discussing amputation YET but I feel the slippery slope is around the next bend.

I've scheduled transportation with the city transit authority, better known as Hampton Roads Transit or HRT. It will be his first trip on their Handi-Ride bus. His aide will accompany him (at no charge tyvm!). It will cost $6 for the trip but it will be well worth it if all goes well. I purchased a book of tickets last week. $30 will get you 5 to & from trips. Not bad if there's little to no hassle and they're on time.

Wish us luck and pray for him and the doctor as we will finally get a "bigger picture"view of this wound. I hope we've done enough to ensure he doesn't lose the foot anytime soon.

In my next post I will be sharing with everyone some of the tools of this remarkable journey with pictures of the various medical equipment that's overtaking our home. I feel like a doctor without a hospital sometimes.
