Wound Vac Done

Dad and Adele were here just overnight, on their way to an appointment in NY. They made it all the way to Topeka today, and are now safely ensconced at their motel for the night.

K saw the doc today, and they discontinued the wound vacuum. She is SO glad to be rid of that awkward contraption, always tied to her foot with a long tube. It was too much like lugging a ball and chain. The good news is, the left foot is still looking really good. The right foot wound is small enough that the vac isn't helping much any more. But it's big enough that it's still a serious concern.

I ran across a rattlesnake in front of the building, on the way out of work today. After that, as I was driving home, I kept feeling crawly sensations on my legs, and was wondering what the odds are, of a rattler finding its way up into my car in the parking lot, while I'm working away at my desk... That would be a big surprise, to have one come slithering out from under the seat, as I'm driving down a crowded highway!
