This morning I, my father and stepmother went to Burger King for breakfast, my treat. From there it was on the Baptist church for the Easter service. Yes, it was nice of me to go but with my problems it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. It was fun for them, miserable for me. I'm uncomfortable in crowded places. Add to that my foot and my right knee were doing their darnedest to make me wish I'd never left my trailer. By 2pm I was back home and I can relax like I'm supposed to.
Last night was another bad one for me. The wound vac kept shutting down and several alarms kept going off. Blocked line. A close inspection couldn't detect any blockage. Low pressure - Therapy interrupted. What low pressure? It was running at 125 mmhg, peak performance. Leak in dressing. Nope. Inspected it very carefully. No leak found. It still registered 'Leak in dressing' with the line pinched off. For that it should have set off the 'Blockage Detected' alarm. Replaced the filter canister and suction line and that made no difference at all. It wouldn't work for more than twenty minutes before one of the alarms went off and often the alarm had nothing to do with why it shut off. So I removed the dressing this morning and replaced it with a standard wet to dry dressing and set the wound vac aside. Tomorrow I'm going to recommend to the Home Health nurse that it be inspected and/or replaced before they attempt putting it on me again.
The rest of the day I'm going to relax and take it easy. I don't even intend to turn one of the old computers today.
