Pressure Cooker Second Round

omigosh! So much has happened since my last blog! The pressure cooker didnt give up! We went through Christmas and New Years with even more anxiety. Jay had complications of his complications of the knee replacement surgery. He ended up in ICU, a rehab center and with a home health nurse because of all the medical intervention.He developed an infection in his gallbladder just two days after being released from the hospital. The perimedics came with the ambulance to take him back to the hospital. Because he was on blood thinners for the blood clot in his leg, he couldnt have the gallbladder surgery till the clotting factor increased. The Dr. waited as long as he could and did the surgery on a Sunday night. Jay bled out a lot and was near death. He developed infection in that wound and it had to be opened to drain. It never was re- closed and had to heal from the inside first, making an ugly scar. Then his molar started hurting and the dentist discovered an abcessed tooth.This is probably the source of the infection in his body. The tooth was extracted, and because of he blood thinner, it wouldnt stop bleeding. Back he went to the dentist for cauterizing. Finally home, he convalesced with home health nurses coming for a month of treatments. Meanwhile, his knee wasnt getting the exercise treatment and is still stiff and painful! He did finally get "better" but didnt have a garden this year.
