Re: Dodger is out of ICU



Thank you for keeping us updated on Dodger.  It seems like he has a good attitude; just hope he can stay off the leg till he gives it time to heal.  Somehow I think Dodger will find it hard to be sedentary.

Subject: Dodger is out of ICU
 
I went to see Dodger today and he is out of the ICU and in room 7303B.
 
He has a bunch of Saran Wraplike stuff wound around his leg and some black sponge rubber shoved in the wound areas as a siphon with a suction constantly pulling out the nasty stuff. The affected area is a couple spots with one on the inside of the calf shaped like a canoe and about 4" wide in the middle and 9" long. (Eyeball guessimate) The other one is on the otherside of his shinbone and about half that size. Of course he also has a long incision going clear up to his groin on the inside of his leg. And they have decided he does have diabetes now.
 
He is scheduled to go home in the next couple days if all goes well with a visiting nurse stopping in about every other day for meds, site cleaning/inspection and ???? His son is taking his Dakota home tonight so only one person is needed to chauffeur him home.

It will be a change of life style for him but he has a good attitude and says he won't have any trouble coping with the diabetes.
