On Thursday Nurse Kathleen taught us how to put in place a second kind of ostomy bag. It is larger, since the now wide open incision is a larger opening than the other opening. With this new piece of equipment in place an its clear front with a zip lock opening you can look right into this open chasm in the middle of Faina's chest. Nurse Kathleen cheerfully goes about her work narrating as she moves along, with a countenance much like Julia Child, have no fear, you can do this, and working around any obstacle.
Asked if this bacteria rich fluid percolating out could cause sepsis, she said we would know if that was going on. Faina would be running a fever, there would be swelling and sensitivity to being probed.
Faina is very much in a low energy state, not even energetic enough to be depressed. Her patience is remarkable. And so we wait for the almost imperceptible progress to move along to a fuzzy point at which she can come home to lick her wounds. At this point, it is much like watching grass grow.
