So. Today the wound care doctor had him come in.
He told Richard the other guy was full of it. Don’t do it. A PCC line with antibiotics was his recommendation.
(Note that PCC lines have their own infection risks.)
Richard came home going, Who’s in charge??
Me, pointing out what he knew: Doing the other is permanent.
But after a few more minutes knitting and considering the thing, I went back over to him and made a pronouncement. YOU are. It’s your body.
Okay, wound guy had then said to him, You need to go back to the Infectious Diseases guy and have him….

Who’s on first?
You both must be getting whiplash from all of this. I pray that, in the end, everything works out. Maybe his primary care doctor can act as referee in all this. Someone needs to coordinate his care!
Well then, optimistic hope remains. May it all heal finally without surgery.

And so stressful.
I hope this week can be MUCH calmer – but also with some resolution between the non-communicating doctors for your husband’s infection.
