It has been a challenge to get Mom to realize that she is not "fine". Because her thumb is not throbbing with pain she thinks there is no problem. She can't understand that when she tries to do things with it she breaks what little clotting that has occurred and it bleeds again. During the day today she bled so much that when I went to change the bandage this evening there was so much clotted blood the bandage was firmly stuck to her thumb. She had to soak it in warm water for about 5 minutes before I could remove the remnants of the bandage. I am trying a different sterile pad that is supposed to be "non-stick"; we shall see if it performs as advertised.
Cousins Baron and Mona dropped by for a short visit this evening. Baron spent all day making
nishime so he brought some over for Mom and Dad. He makes his with
shoyu pork; it was
ono! I will have to get his recipe.
Here are photos of the work on the front bedroom. No work could be done on this room until Day #3, after the living room had been reorganized to create some space to move things out of this room.
