So, he should be getting discharged tomorrow, but he's not going back to work or anywhere except the doctor's office for at least 4 weeks. Intravenous antibiotics, and stay OFF the FOOT. He gets one of those rollie/scooter thingys for a month - the thing you kneel on and push and it has a handbrake?, and home health or somesuch will check on the IV port a couple of times a week, but antibiotics every 6 hours. The nurse showed me how to hook it up, but I learn the saline flush bit tomorrow for afterward. I hope it is the same setup for home -- they had a machine that pushes it from a syringe, and the hanging bags make me nervous. I don't know why, they just do.
Wonder if I can put that on my resume!
