I feel like all I do these days is write posts to you guys to pray for me. It is like the never ending story. I want you to know that I appreciate them very much.
You won't believe what happened yesterday. I was in Mark's office here in the house. He has a rug over the carpet by his desk and it moves from time to time. So I moved his office chair into the hallway and started to pull the rug over and for some reason, I don't really know why, but I went down on my knee. Well I have thin skin because of steroids and I tore the skin on my left knee.
Of course I went and had to put something on it to stop the bleeding. Nothing really helped. I pulled the skin up as much as I could, I wrapped gauze around it over and over again and then secured it. So after awhile I checked it and it was still bleeding a lot.
I decided I would have to go to urgent care and make sure that there wasn't more that I should be doing. As it turns out, Mark was on his way home from going shooting and he was able to drive me to urgent care. I was seen pretty quickly and I liked the doctor I saw. I have seen him before.
So he cleaned it really well pouring a special liquid over it. Then he gently pulled the skin back up and secured it with tape all the way around. I believe he put some cream on it also. Anyway he bandaged it really well. The top bandage I will take off daily and put a new one on. The other one should start to come loose in about 10 days. Whether or not the skin will attach and heal is hopeful but not for sure.
Of course now I have to figure out how I'm going to shower. I just got done using a shower thing you pull up on your leg so I could shower with my ankle bandage that couldn't get wet. So here I am again, only a few days later with the same issue. By the way, that's the leg I am having sciatica in.
On top of that we go later today to watch James for the weekend. It is for sure now that I will be in the house with the dogs while Adam and James go out and have some fun maybe playing miniature golf or something else.
Your prayers are appreciated.
Love you guys,
Debby
