Pressure sores
The Life Care at Home nurse is telling us that Medicare will no longer pay for daily wound nurse visits. So the nurse taught me how to dress K's pressure sores (yes, there are two, now) on Saturday, and I did my first solo wound dressing today. Went OK. It was nice to have Amy here, helping to find the necessary supplies. It's really frustrating, that we can't convince K to keep the pressure off these sores, until they heal. Even more frustrating to learn that Medicare won't cover everyday nurse visits, even though everyday bandage changes are necessary.
