Meet my new best friend part 3

Friday Its another wound care change day. I am suppose to go over to a friends house this evening for pizza. I let them know I have to wait till my home health nurse is here and finished. Again time to get active, use the cross body strap and go for a walk. The itching is still there and again I'm trying my best to ignore it. The afternoon flies by, but I notice when I am in the bathroom there is a couple of red spots on the bottom of my wound under the tape I see them amd hope its blood and not a rash starting. My home health nurse finally gets here at 6. As she is taking the tape off I am having a little pain. Once she is done I notice a lot more spots on my skin and my wound. After we talk bout what we are gonna do and what we should we decide to leave the wound vac off and go back to the wet to dry dressings. She covers the entire wound in a thick layer of Destin. She uses the packing strips to pack the tunnels. I actually notice and show her that it looks like one of my shorter tunnels is actually closing up. That is great news and I decide to look and the last tunnel that popped up is gone as well. We use extra tape to put in places on my belly that hasn't seen much tape in the past month or 2. I had to let my friends know I couldn't make it and we should plan again but only on Tuesday or Thursday and weekends since I have the wound vac. Saturday It was weird sleeping without having the wound vac and listening to it. I was actice today as far as walking but decided I had better just relax this weekend since the drainage is just excessive and with the rash trying to start. Take my shower wash the wound and area. As soon as I am stretched out on the couch I pack the top tunnel. You see, the opening is trying to heal and get smaller. Now I know what you are thinking isn't that what we want? Yes but the tunnel has to heal from the bottom up. If it heals at the top then I still have a tunnel that will have drainage in it and that could cause extra problems, not that we already don't have enough to deal with. So I get that top one done and let my wound get some air and just let it breath for a few hours. Looking at the wound it doesn't look any better than it did yesterday. I clean it with some saline and pack the other tunnels, then I put a layer of Destin on it. I take a pic and send it to a friend. Her response, it looks like you are frosting a cake and a little bit of strawberry filling didn't get covered. That made my day I laughed so hard at that. Just to let y'all know I take pics of my wound on a daily basis and when I have the wound vac as soon as she takes everything off then I get my pic.
