A Cookie In Each Hand: snow

The whirlpool debridement treatments are becoming more difficult for Evelyn. The nerves are growing back, so there is more pain. Ron her PT is having to cut away the dead material from the wound as she cries and cries. She doesn't even like the whirlpool part anymore. I'm having to physically hold her hand down in the water. It's no longer a fun bubbly bath for her hand (Bill even uploaded the movie "UP" to his iPod so she would have a distraction today. It didn't work.)

We knew it was going to be hard this week. And it has. I was SO looking forward to tomorrow because I thought these treatments would only be through Friday, But Ron told us today that he was pretty sure we would at least have to do Saturday too. So it's going to be a long weekend before we get to go back on Monday morning to see the surgeon.
