Dorothy's the Focus

I'm not putting much energy into our K&S blog, because most of my available time is going into getting K to and from Dialysis, and making sure the blog for our niece Dorothy is up to date. In case you haven't checked over there, Dorothy's come out of the coma, and has been making incremental progress. They had planned to move her to a rehabilitation facility early next week. She had a setback on Friday, when they discovered her jaw was broken in two places, but they're planning surgery for that on Sunday morning. The jaw will probably delay her move to rehab.

K's still struggling with 3 foot wounds on her right foot, and now one wound on her left foot. The first wound on her heel has indirectly caused the other three, since she's been trying to keep off the heel, which puts more stress on the other parts of her right foot, and on the left foot. The month of dialysis has removed a lot of the swelling that was caused by the failing kidneys. She likes to say she's lost "three Mandys" to the dialysis, and is working on a fourth.
