Today, Pai had a visit from the Nurse at home. I wasn't present, but from what I heard from my Mom, the visit went well. The nurse cleaned his wound and changed the bandage. Unsure of what else was done, but I assume all went well.
Pai was trying to take only extra strength Tylenol for the pain during the day, but it's not working very well, so he has decided to continue taking the more potent pain medicine.
Great news! Susan, the Prosthetist stopped by today and placed the shrinker sock on Pai. This is one of the first steps in getting his leg ready for the Prosthetic. I know it will be a long process, but I am so looking forward to Pai walking again.
I stopped by to see him this evening after work and he said he was in less pain. He believes it may be due to the compression from the shrinker sock that may be helping with the pain.
For me, today was a good day overall, but I had some difficult moments emotionally and mentally. I know there is hope at the end of Pai's journey, but I can't help but feel overwhelmed and scared at times.
So far Pai has had a positive attitude through all this and he knows the right decision was made by amputating, but it's still difficult for me to see him going through this.
The purpose of this blog is to share with friends and family Pai's progress, but I will need to share my feelings from time to time...blog will also be used as a journal for me to share my thoughts and feelings as I/we go on this journey with Pai.
I pray that God help Pai through this journey and that God gives him the strength physically and mentally to walk again with a Prosthetic. I also pray I have more faith in God to believe that He will help my Pai through this.
