Tuesday Late

Nothing much to report. The cleaning and packing of the incision proceeds and shows good progress. Reenie measures the progress by how much gauze she can stuff into the openings. It is down considerably from where we started.

The new ostomy bag is much improved. It has a stopper on the bottom rather than a pinching device that was tough to work and often leaked.

Othewise, we had a great dinner (again) thanks to Reenie, my exquisite BBQ skills and Mary's digital meat thermometer. No overcooked meat or fish in this house!

Mary did not walk as much as we wanted her because she just wasn't feeling up to it. But, she spent many more hours in upright chairs than she has any prior day.

I guess we are all waiting for the visit with Dr. Visser on Friday afternoon.
