Crisis Over
Hello Everyone:
Well this crisis seems to be over. Bill's hand healed
nicely (seven stitches). It seems he should have been
put on an antibiotic right after they treated the cut
since he is on Florinef. The cellulitis infection
cleared up, but not before a respiratory infection set
in. He had to be taken off one antibiotic
(Cephalexin)and put on another (Biaxin). Biaxin made
him very weak.
Of course, I came down with a bronchial and sinus
infection at the same time. Feel a lot better today.
Missed work last week which means I have much more to
do this week. Oh, well first things first.
Thanks for the messages of support and the information
on infections. Bill has agreed to physical therapy
because he feels weaker now.
Betsy thanks for those lines on caregivers, I've made
an appointment with a geriatric care manager to see
about home help. At least for three days a week.
Let you know how that goes.
