Sherri is back and sleeping in her room after heading out at 6:30 this morning for the Docs to close up her left calf. The good news is the skin and muscle look really good and they were able to pull the incision closed without need for a skin graft. When Sherri gets over to rehab, it will be better not to have to work around the nuisance of a skin graft. The surgeon installed a small drain under the skin and was upbeat and optimistic that the swelling will continue to diminish. Pain in her left leg is not significant as she has reduced feeling in her leg. The doc explained that the nerve will continue to re-juvenate from the point of injury and, over time, work down the leg to the foot.
All is very quiet right now. Hopefully she'll awaken soon, have a good appetite, and be ready to journey over to the nearest chair!!
Love to all,
Steve
