On Saturday I found out a bit more about Margaret's Achilles Tendon Injury. While not requiring surgery Margaret will have to wear an orthopedic boot to hold her ankle at 15 degrees for some time. This will lessen the strain on the ruptured tendon so it can heal naturally. There are also some degenerative changes to both Margaret's ankles causing the fluid build up in the joints. This will be addresseds later.
Her ribs are much better and breathing exercises begin today.
Unfortunately her sodium levels have dropped once again and her potassium levels have risen both of which are not good. Her medications will be discussed and a conference today when her on going treatment will be reviewed.
We still hope that she will be home in time for Christmas but if not I will be able to take her out to lunch using her wheel chair. She really wants to go to the Reef Hotel where we have booked lunch.
