Another Hospitalization (11-6 through 11-10

Here I lie in bed. It is 1am. Another emergency non-emergency hospitalization. 

Isolated. Here and in life. 

My niece did stop by with my medical device on her way out of town. She was gracious enough to go to Walmart and pick me up a pkg of underpants and undershirts. Plus H2O. 

Timeline of recent events (recap):

10-18: leave for KIS with visiting parents. House is robbed. Losses consist of two TV (32"), two W7 based laptops (one belongs to the boy) and truck/AB POBox key combo. 

11-2: burglars use keys to drive truck 1/4 way down driveway. Truck is secure. Thanks, 1990s. 

11-4: saw foot doc. Something off w/wound, possible development. No graft application. Had graft prev two weeks. 

11-5: got sign off from cardio, primary for 11-25 surgery. Took w/Gastroenterologist letter to,surgeon office. 

11-6: Went to wound clinic for nurse visit. Entire side of foot blown out. They call doc, he arrives 90 min later and sends me to hospital. 

11-7: Foot surgery. Doc removes small bone in foot. Bound to a knee walker. Foot is 100% non-weight baring. Have three holes: original, infection, & surgical entry point. Whole thing is big mess. 

11-10: discharged with antibiotics, pain med & home nursing. No pain med since surgery, not sure why they gave me meds. Here are three views of wound, 11/11 (post-discharge)
