Casey's transplant coordinator never called back! That's nothing new! When he went in for his wound care appt., the wound specialist said that his swelling ankles and feet were nothing to be concerned about. If the swelling was going away at nights, then it was just his diet. He needs to cut back on the amt of salt he consumes and drink more water. Water sure is important in our bodies! I wish water tasted like coke, then I would drink gallons of it everyday! LOL!
When we finally got in touch with one of the coordinators, she confirmed what the wound specialist had said. The swelling has not returned. But Casey, being the stubborn man he is, did not ask about the cramps in his chest! He said it didn't cramp at the time so he didn't think to ask! UGH! Men!
He had another wound care appt this morning. His wound is getting better and better! It's not as deep or as long. The size of the sponge they have to insert in it for the wound vac gets smaller every visit...that's a very good sign!! Please keep him in your prayers! We need his wound to totally heal so that they can operate on his hernias!
I just got an update on the cramps in his chest...wound specialist says that as long as he does not have shortness of breath or dizziness, then its not the heart! It is just muscle cramps, possible still side effects of chemo still in his body along with all of his medications. Thank God!
