Packing Progress
Ok, Cowboy freaked me out about DH's hands!! Actually he was out on a grassfire ( he is a volunteer fireman, yes I get to sleep with a fireman!!) So, I called his aunt who is a nurse and asked for her help. I told her I would pull out the old and take my hibacleans shower and call her when I was ready. WARNING THE REST IS NOT FOR THE SQUEMISH (sp?)
Before I went into the bathroom I told my son I would leave the door unlocked and if he heard a loud thud to call for help. He told me I had to be sure to leave my clothes on, so thoughtful isn't he. Let me just say there is something wrong with pulling out a puss and blood dripping shoestring from a hole in your stomach that seems to be 6 foot long instead of inches. Anyway, to my surprise it did not hurt just felt weird in an icky way, and thank goodness my son didn't have to call for backup. This is going on forever isn't it, sorry I'll hurry. So aunt came and decided that since I pulled it out myself and didn't pass out I could pack it myself. OMG!!! She come from the old school and works in a nursing home, need I say more. Ok, so I actually did it. Again to my surprise it wasn't painful just really really icky and scarey!!! Anyway, I'm a big girl now and can take care of myself, and cowboy I do know where my hands have been. Now where is my gold star dammit!!

Major gold star from me! I have no idea how you did that yourself! YIKES! There is no way there are big girl panties big enough for me to do that to myself! I'm tres impressed!
What the HELL was your aunt thinking? Where is the compassion? Ok, I'll quit bashing your aunt who is probably very sweet but dang!
You are a warrior, girlie! You deserve to pamper yourself! Go have a sf popsicle! (sorry - we don't get great food treats too much anymore!)

You're stronger than I am. WeightWise was gonna put my name on one of the patient room doors as they always used the same one. Yeah, it's icky, and no way in hell was I gonna do it. Plus, mine was so deep I was afraid it wouldn't get done right..and wasn't when I was in Enid for DD's wedding...as a consequence, what was nearly healed re-infected.
