Nurse Katie to the rescue

My nursing capabilities knows no boundaries. Tonight, for the first time, I rinsed Cleve's wound with saline and peroxide and then packed it with gauze. Yes, I got my hands right in there, sopped up the solution with 4x4 gauze and then wrapped him back up. Could this be a career change for me? Nope! I think i'll stick to dental hygiene. But, at least I know I can take care of his wound without throwing up now. Here is what it looked like after I rinsed it out. Notice how spic and span clean it is

All that grey stuff is dead tissue that is starting to slough off too which I was able to remove a bit of. We are starting to play around with Cleve's medications as well. Cleve has been experiencing some tremors and muscle spasms in his limbs that we think are attributed to the oxycontin. It makes for a very unrestful sleep since he jerks all the time. They look like tiny little seizures that he's having. So we are trying a different combination of medications that hopefully stop these spasms and allows him to be a little more coherent as well. When he's taking the oxy, I honestly don't know what he's talking about half the time.
