It really is starting to turn that proverbial corner! Slow baby steps, but at least I feel like it's in the right direction. Plus, I'm off the high dosage antibiotic and I have substituted Tylenol for the anti-inflammatory that was prescribed as I think it may have been the hot/cold fluctuations culprit. Thank you everyone for reaching out to me. The Home Health I ended up with are super!!! Glad now that the one the hospital originally set up was "too busy" . Again, being completely on my own has been rough and not knowing really what to expect has been scary; so each of you have indeed been my lifeline!!! Thank you and God bless.
