Casey had been in pain around his incision area for a couple of weeks. We thought it was just because of the muscle not being healed up yet...but turns out he has two hernias! During his weekly visit to the wound clinic, the doctors took a close look at it and decided to send him to get a CT scan done. In order to do this, they had to remove the Wound VAC. Casey was so excited to get rid of the murse (man purse)!!! Doctors said that the wound was looking a lot better so he may not have to have the Wound Vac put back on. But the wound is looking pretty nasty this morning so the murse may have to be a part of his wardrobe for a little while longer!
As for the hernias, they are small according to the CT Scan. Doctors will not begin to deal with them until he has finished all his chemo treatments. So he has to be in pain until next month sometime!! Pain killers dull the pain but not enough to go on with his normal daily activities. My poor hubby, he can't win for losing! It's always one thing or another! Please keep him in your daily prayers!
