Post Op

K's out of surgery as of 5pm. Dr Brook just called to give me the details. He debrided existing wounds, removed the medial sesmoid bone, and planted antibiotic beads. He also loosened the Achilles tendon to prevent future problems. He's going to confer with an infectious diseases specialist about what antibiotics to use. The problem is complicated by the various antibiotics they've already had her taking recently. He says he'll be sending her home tomorrow after dialysis at the hospital, and wearing a cam boot, which has a rounded bottom to help prevent putting too much pressure on the bottom of the foot. It sounds like she's now in the best possible position, to be able to recover from the current situation. She has a follow up appointment with the doc and his nurse on Wednesday.
