Update from Surgeon

Sorry for the late post. The surgeon cut out the mesh that was exposed in his wound. In his opinion it would be easy for the removal of the mesh since he believes that it is not attached except at the sides. He did say that Jeff would leave the hospital with a wound vac and that his incision would possibly not heal all the way and that he could have a wound vac the rest of his life. Jeff is a little sceptical and would like another opinion if he decides surgery is an option for him. We haven't had much time to talk about it. We both think that with the infection gone he would be eligible for more trials, but then there is the flip side of taking into account how long it takes him to heal from surgery. Jeff did take an extremely low dose of oxyfast tonite because the pain spikes are starting to come back. The hospice nurse talked to us today about Jeff switching to methadone again and that it would be an easier switch since he is not taking the long acting oxycodone anymore. Jeff is starting to sleep more and seems tired, but he also is not sleeping for a long period of time. He is urinating frequently causing him to wake. It is a good thing, sort of, because he is loosing lots of the fluid. That is all for now. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving and hope all is well with everyone.
