The past week has been slightly uneventful...Mom did mention that her foot was bothering her again. When I looked at it I found another blister, this one the size of a large mushroom...maybe as wide as a half dollar. We put a clean white sock on it and her pressure tube-sock. I am hoping that it will reabsorb or drain on its own. Then I will need to keep it dry and clean until the wound heals.
I don't understand the new blister. Her other foot is just fine, not even an abrasion. She must be using that foot to turn over in bed, or get herself up from sitting. The good news is that she feels the sore. (if you can call that good news) Meaning that she still has feeling in her feet. She dreamt that she had it amputated, bit by bit. Usually that happens with diabetes complications like gangrene, which she doesn't have.
She does have a new UTI and yesterday her Urologist gave her an antibiotic. If her foot gets infected, this will help on both problems.
She will stay close to her room all day today so it is not so far to walk to the bathroom.
When things were down for David, he encouraged himself in the Lord. We have so much more than David had or ever will have in our blessings mercies that we should find it just as easy, if not easier to encourage ourselves in the Lord. One mercy we have that David was unaware of and cannot take part in is the prospect of the rapture while we are still alive! What a blessed hope! I can hardly wait.
