Hello everyone! Today was a decent day. It was an emotional day too. I had a CT scan of my chest done to make sure my on going battle with a fever and high heart rate wasn't due to a blood clot in my lungs. That came back negative, so I'm all good there. My fever has gone down but my heart rate is still a little high. Pain has been a struggle today too. They are trying to keep me away from any pain medicine that has aspirin in it to make sure they aren't covering a larger fever which could be a sign of more problems. At this point my temp has stayed regular.
Today I got to shower! They took my dressings off and changed them as well. Showering was challenging because I was sitting down and eventually my feet fell asleep. I still have to wear the compression socks :( they are so uncomfortable and get in the way of a lot.
Going to the bathroom and waking around is getting easier. I have yet to poop, but that's pretty normal.
Ryne has a picture of my battle wounds and I'll post that up later. I should be going home tomorrow.
Thanks for reading everyone!
