Home Health Care

Well, my life has quickly transformed from things of lighthearted nature to taking care of my Sam. We have home health nurses come into the house twice daily to run Sam's IV Antibiotic. They are trying to teach me but I don't want to learn- just because I am so afraid I will do something wrong!!! You can see in the photo that there is a yellow bag in the upper right corner- that is Sam's Antibiotics. They go into a pic line in his left arm that leads inside a vein that goes to the top chamber of his heart. His right hand is the one that had the surgery. It is hard work to be Sam's personal nurse. The thing I have the hardest time doing is trying to get him to let ME do things for him! I left him alone for just a few minutes yesterday and the next thing I knew he was outside trying to shovel the remaining snow on the walk-way with his one good hand! This is our second day home and he is starting to realize that he DOES get tired easily and he just can't do what he normally does. He has been laying down all day and sleeping on and off, sill in lots of pain, but that will disipate with time...lots of time and relazation!
