Well hello all, I'm back....ur um I think so anyway.
Still have a swollen leg. Don't know what the deal is there. Taking Clindamycin for a week at home and then back to the Doc for follow up.
7 grams of Vancomycin and 21 IV's of Ampicillin and Sulbactum and here I am.
Note to people on Coumdin--The misinformation campaign continues at the highest levels, so we have our work cut out for us.
Imagine that!
How dare they put me on a Coumadin restricted diet. I asked the Doc when he came in and he flipped. He said and these are exactly his words, "What in the hell is a Coumadin restricted diet?" He got the dietician up there and we had a battle.
Seems Dietary thinks that by offering there large 4 oz portion of greens is going to throw someones INR off. First off, they don't give you enough to throw anything off and second of all, we all know it's bogus. Try as we would, I don't the Doc or I made any difference in their decisions on the diet.
How is anything going to change if none of them will listen?
Anyhow, got my diet changed to NO Restrictions except added salt, though I did not get a single leafy green anything while I was in until last night, I got a whole 4 broccoli spears to eat! Oh no, my INR is going to be so far out of range now huh?
Thank you for the prayers and well wishes. I can certainly use any help that anyone feels like offering. Got my plate beyond full here. Sewer still to be connected, now a hospital bill that wasn't in the plan and trying like mad to find a route to get Chris into physical therapy. Have to get a lawyer and fight Social Security again for him. I'm so tired of fighting for everything........
Good to be home though, no matter how bad everything else is.
