Met Mom and Dad at the Wound Center this morning. It was very crowded but they did get us in fairly promptly. We got to answer the same questions that we have been asked at every institution we have been to over the last 50+ days. After measuring the length of the "tunnel" the doctor suggested that we let him cut an incision the entire length, leave the incision open and let the wound heal from the inside out. I wanted to say,"Are you an idiot!" but I didn't. I asked him if it was infected and if they could just continue to pack it while Dad finished his last week at HS. I could tell he was disappointed that he wasn't going to get to use his scalpel, but he said that it could wait. All the activity wore Dad out and he decided to eat lunch in his room.
He had his regular afternoon sessions and went back to his room where he now had a roommate. I don't know why because there are a lot of empty rooms and with the temperature issues Dad has had this week there was bound to be a problem, but since we never seem to have the same nurse or tech from shift to shift, day to day, night to night, who knew. I guess it was a sleepless night for both of them. Institutional idiocy!
God is good!
