How do you sit?
March 27th update
Good evening. Today I had an eye appt, it was a 3 month check-up to see if my eyes had gotten better or not. See I have a genetic eye disease called Fuch's Dystrophy, it causes your cornea to swell which of course affects your vision. Great news the drops are helping so much my right eye is back to 20/20 and my left eye well is my problem child. I can finally get new glasses. No transplant for this girl right now but eye drops are for life. Anywho I will have to do a post about that another time. As I was driving to the eye doc I was having some pain around my wound from sitting straight up. No big deal, we gotta keep going. My home health nurse stopped by this afternoon and we decided we are gonna leave the wound vac off one more day to let the rash heal even more. My home health nurse will send a message to the doc to see what she wants to do, pictures are included in her message. Some times you just can't tell a person how bad it is, but pictures really do make a difference. So now almost my entire belly is covered in medical breathable tape. The tape isn't anywhere close to the wound or the Destin. We have learned to move the tape around so my skin doesn't get use to it in the same location.I am ok with the great news from early this afternoon, as for the wound well we are doing all we can, that includes prayers, cremes, rest, air, new packing strips,different tape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I sit here in my recliner Indian style mind you watching the news. I think about how I sit and then when I get up I have to hold my belly and stand a second so the pain will go away. i just want to be able to sit like a normal person or even sit like I did before all the surgeries. So I ask you how do you sit? Most people will probably give a strange look to that question because you have probably never thought about it. It's a normal thing to just sit so why would you think about a silly question like that. Now I'm gonna take it easy for the rest of the nite, had a busy afternoon. So let's see what tomorrow holds!!

I think before sitting! I think about how am I going to make my back comfortable. My new normal. But it has been worse but I’ll continue to go to the chiropractor monthly.
