On March 14, 2011 they changed my wound VAC dressing for the first time. I now go through this three times a week, but with drugs nowhere near as potent as this first time.
This first time I was on morphine AND Dilaudid. The second time, the wound care nurse didn't wait long enough for the morphine to kick in, and I had no dilaudid. So, I felt the full force of the pain!
Today, will mark my 3rd changing and the first changing at home. I will let everyone know how it goes!
