New people seeing my " stuff"

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day.  Heather came over and visited with me for a while and made me dinner for a couple of nights because she is going to be very busy at work.  She made Tilapia with avocado and corn on top, it was great.  She also made some rice and spinach with garlic.  She also made some tuna salad and some chicken noodle soup.

Carrie came by for my massage and brought Autumn from across the street to help her turn me, Autumn is an emergency room nurse at Watsonville Hospital.  They are both really good friends with Heather and they were teasing me about having my own private chef... I hate saying that but I love hearing it.

Autumn got me an appointment at the hospital to see a wound care specialist so I can get some advice about how to treat and prevent pressure sores.  Hopefully the doctor can tell me the best mattress for me and give me some positioning tips, I have pretty much tried everything I could think of and asked everybody I've ran into.

I really wanted to keep going to Valley Medical and Moorpark for all of my appointments and treatment but now I just don't know.  Although I know and like everybody there they no longer have a wound care specialist and Watsonville is only about 20 minutes away AND really close to The Wooden Nickel.

I say go where they have what you need most.  Wound care is a big concern in your condition & I'd want to be where that was a priority.
Heck, all of us reading this want a personal chef now ;0 ~Mary

I'm with Mary; I'd love to have a personal chef, LOL, so glad Heather offered her services to you! her food sounds delicious just reading about it!

I do hope you get good advice on wound care; I know how important that is for your health!

Mmmmm...  Those dishes sound scrumptious!  I've never tried tilapia, but I've been hearing more and more about it lately, and I'm thinkin' a trip to the supermarket is in order!  

I hope you'll find a comfortable mattress that will help do away with those pressure sores.
