Well my dad got to go home today! He was released from the hospital at 6:00p.m. I am so glad he is out of there. I sat with him all day today and will be over at the house taking care of him all day tomorrow. Sadly my mom is behind at work and needs me to help. Since i'm not doing anything, I gladly accepted the mission.
He still has a lot of pain, but is doing well enough to survive outside the hospital walls. He has lost some feeling in his finger and his has a lot of dead tissue. He has to meet with the Dr. again in a week. We are hoping that the dead skin will fall off and new skin will grow but that is up in the air. Hopefully he won't have to have surgery and won't have to lose part or all of his finger. Who knew that rattle snake bites could be so awful. I am just happy that he's alive!
Not much else is going on, this has pretty much consumed my life for now. My husband is presently at work and i'm debating on going grocery shopping. I really don't want to go, but we really need food. It has been nearly 3 weeks since we last went. Oh well, my wifely duties call... off I go.
