This morning was full of good news. First off we took Wiska to the vet to have his stitches removed. Because he is so slim, the vet was soooooo happy to do the surgery. Apparently it only took about 15 minutes to do it. That explains why he was so alert the next day when I picked him up. Wiska was a bit shy with him at first after the stitches came out, but Dr. Bruce scratched him in just the right place and his hind leg started to kick. Talk about being a happy camper. I still have to feed him the wet dog food partially (smelly) until his throat is completely healed, but there is an end in sight to the stench. My blue boxes are filled with dog food cans.
In addition to that I heard from my nephrologist today and I will be getting my portacath at the beginning of April. This is an implanted device that will replace my external picc line. They will be able to give me drugs and take blood from this and I will be able to shower again without having to wrap my arm in Saran wrap and tape to keep the site dry. The port will go into my chest and there will be no risk of infection like with the picc. Yeah! Also this will be done at roughly the same time as I am getting an endoscopy so the shenanigans that I have to go through with my warfarin will only have to be the one time to cover the 2 procedures. It will mean extra injections of the substitute, but that will be all right.
On top of that while I am a bit sad that I may have a friend moving out of town, she is moving because she is in love and happy. So that's good news too. I'm just so happy when things go well for my friends.
All in all a good morning.
