Oh @dezines, I feel for you. This sounds like such a tough time. I don't blame you for being concerned about the swelling, and certainly if the skin is red or warm. If it gets worse, be sure to reach back out to the surgeon's office, and sometimes a triage nurse can be helpful, or even your primary care provider may be able to help. They may be able to confirm if there is reason to be concerned.
Most times people that offer to help really do mean it. Is there anyone else that can help with the house or a little cooking?
Sometimes a chance of scenery can be refreshing and can be a big help to your mental state. Would it be possible to try a mini-trip, just an overnight, before taking the longer trip to the beach?

Thank you Lisa, for reaching out to me. My husband (also my care giver) has been coughing for the past few days and he finally went to the ER today, after trying to get him to see his Doctor, I ended up being the care giver and yesterday I had a sore throat. Once his coughing began he slept in another room but he would be downstairs with me and touching remotes, etc. My last visit with my PT nurse was yesterday and she took his temperature and it was a little above 101 degrees. At that point she told me to also wear a mask. Something I hadn't done as it's difficult for me to breathe with it. He just returned from the ER and was diagnosed with Viral Bronchitis not sure yet what prescriptions they gave him. Besides concerns for him, I now am wondering how this could impact me? How long will he be contagious? I imagine due to his illness there won't be any trips. We'll wait and see.
I really appreciate your empathy, during these trying times. Hope to hear back regarding my concerns. Thank you.
