not good..

jons sores arent getting better..it looks like he has a total of 4..the original and three new ones..they are CONSTANTLY draining, so the dressings get soaked and do more harm then good it seems..the nurses tell me to keep it on for 3-5 days..but they are sooo moist! that cant be good! so i called the nurses again and told them whats going on..so they are coming out again today to look at it..i have also noticed a hard mass under one of jons sores..i noticed that it was a nickel-quarter size mass that was hard last week..it kind of feels like a pimple when its hard beneath the surface..so i thought maybe it might be that..then the pimple turned into a pressure sore and now the mass is like 3 inches long-REALLLY worried now! so the nurse is going to see what that is all about too..
man this is sooo hard!!! im very nervous right now just because i dont understand whats going on well enough..i will as usual get online and start researching and informing myself and jon..jon has NO IDEA how bad it is so today he asked me to take pictures..all i can say is the pictures made it look 100 times worse! so naturally it freaked him out..he's been in bed still and is getting closterphobic and he said this am on the verge of an emotional break down...he also is having bowel issues which makes him extra nervous too..
so today any extra prayers offered in his behalf would be so appreciated..i cant imagine being stuck in bed for over a week and THEN not being able to move on top of that and THEN having muscle spams that keep your muscles tight when you do move! he's feeling the pressure of his business and getting his magazine layout put together, getting the funds to produce/print the magazine, etc..its a lot to undertake right now..

i will update again once the nurse leaves..she will be here 1230-1pm time frame..oh also the wheelchair is ACTUALLY on its way to our house- amazing! OF COURSE they dont have his cushion seat- im so not surprised at this point..i told them to bring me the chair anyway..he cant even sit in the chair right now..the cushion will get here eventually..

i did make a call on our insurance..i got a packet in the mail and our current plan of 336 a month for me and jon with a 20 dollar copay EACH time we do anything..if dropped to 10 dollar copay jumps to 503 per month JUST for me and jon..YIKES! so i have a call with our agent to see what our options are or if we just have to bite the bullet on this one..we have till the end of november to get it all together..so we do have some time..thankfully our girls are all covered under another plan 100%..so thats good..

well back to work for me! jons massive amount of laundry is calling my name
