Dexter still at the hospital
Wow, it has been awhile since I have been in the journal mood. Since the last entry Dexter was admitted back into the hospital after being home only four days and has been in ever since. He had developed an infection and they had to put in a drain and put him on stronger antibiotics. He is not healing as well as they would have hoped but the doctors said that it is not uncommon for the healing to take a bit due to his immune system being off due to the extensive surgeries he had. He had two in a weeks time. We miss him so much and the doctors call every morning around ten and give us an update and today they said the draining is almost gone and when they changed he bandages today there was minimal leakage. On Friday if there is no drainage they might let him come home on Saturday. I cannot wait to see him since they would not let us see him because they said it would make him depressed. 
I did not go into work today because my ankle is killing me. I think i have arthritis but not sure. My ankle has been hurting since i twisted it a little on Friday. I stayed off of it throught the weekend but when I got up today I could not stand on it for long without it hurting. I am in retail management and am on my feet up to ten hours a day so it was not possible for me to work pain free today. I am not one to call in sick but I felt I really had no choice. The reason I think I am getting artritis is that my joints have been hurting but I might just be doing to much wii fit and that could be why. To be on the safe side I will make an appointment to see my doctor and get checked out. The pain is real and uncomfortable to deal with, we shall see what the problem is.

I don't blame you for calling in sick; if you have to be on your feet for that long and if your ankle is bothering you, it would not be a good thing and very uncomfortable; hoping it feels better soon
