NEW LOCATION
I have moved!
Facing 6 weeks of I.V. antibiotics can be daunting. Facing it away from family, yet on the same continent...it was something I was not looking forward to. Having a PICC line, I am unable to fly anywhere, so we were hoping that our daughter could fly to Florida, we could rent a car, and drive to Austin so that I could be with 3 of our 6 kids during recover. However, being in Florida during a hurricane clean-up time, there were NO car rentals available -- not even U-haul vans! Praise the Lord for kind-hearted friends. Shae-Lynn's second cousin and herself drove from Austin, picked me up after my appointment of having the stitches removed, and we drove back to Texas. It was a long trip, but I am so glad to be around my kids.

One of the things I have discovered in being back is how complicated the medical system is here. I have spent hours and hours on the phone, trying to set up new doctors here in Texas so that my home health care can continue (medical supplies delivered and a nurse to change the PICC line bandage and draw blood). Last week I was able to get a primary care physician for here in Texas, and he is very accommodating to my situation. What an answer to prayer! I will see an orthopedic surgeon on Friday to make sure he is able to draw knee fluid at the end of the month for testing.
