Pai's wound is healing gradually. Some of the scab from the incision is beginning to fall off, but Pai may still have a few weeks before he is healed well enough for the Prosthetic. I was told everyone heals differently.
His pain is lessening, but it's still not gone. He remains on pain medicine.
The OT and PT will have their final home visits this week. The PT said that Pai will continue with Physical Therapy after he gets the Prosthetic, in the meantime he will continue to do his exercises at home.
Pai continues to wear the shrinker to help compress and heal his limb.
His state of mind appears to be positive. Mae is helping him, but also letting him do things for himself. The goal is for Pai to be as independent as possible, but this will take time.
The Physical Therapist said Pai is a good patient and that he thinks that after Pai gets the Prosthetic leg, he will be able to walk without any support from a walker or cane. That was good news. We will hope for the best.
