Had In 'N' Out for food and picked up a couple of packages. Fell asleep for a bit, now watching The Wind Rises.

Wednesday evening greetings!  Our visit to the burn clinic was the first of what I’m afraid will be many.  The nurse practitioner said Richard’s burn is THIRD degree and may require skin graft surgery.  She will be able to tell us more when we return next Thursday.  And I’m channeling my inner Cherry Ames for the nursing skills I’ll need between now and then.

Oh, I'm so sorry, DR Ginny. That sounds really grim.

I am so sorry.  Richard must be in a lot of pain.  What are these nursing skill doing this week to treat the burn?

Thanks, DR Singdaw.  I’m hoping Erin was laying out a worst-case scenario that may not develop.

Cleaning, medicating, and dressing the affected area.  It has to be done twice a day, about 12 hours apart.  And it involves a topical salve that I may or may not be allergic to.  Nurse Theresa told me to wear gloves and allowed me to shoot video as she performed the various steps.

Taking a video was very clever.  If you suspect you are allergic to it I suggest wearing a mask as not to breath the "fumes".

Oh my, Ginny. Hugs to you and Richard. My son had a second degree burn, and I had to clean it and put on salve. Luckily they will be keeping a very close eye on it so it won't get infected.

No, they’re with the other grandparents in Michigan.  Our intention is to be with them for Christmas, but we’ll see…

As Singdaw said, grim news, Ginny. I hope a skin graft won't be necessary.

We went to an extravagant steakhouse. The food was excellent, but the noise level was somewhat irritating.

They lowered the volume of the technopop near our table, but the full house was also loud.

We did see a couple at the table next to us become engaged. He got out of his chair, walked around the table, dropped on one knee and showed her the ring. She accepted and the whole room applauded.

The most dramatic dish I had tonight was a red and golden beet salad with pistachios, orange sections, strawberries and arugula. The plate had been painted with a beet red brush.

I thought my friend Pam said it looked like it had squid marks on it.

I had no idea what squid marks were.

Starting to watch the movie, Just a Gigolo, which is quite dreadful. David Hemmings directs and he has no flair whatsoever for comedy. Kim Novak and Marlene Dietrich are supposed to show up. I can hardly wait.

Wonderful news, DR Jane.

Thanks.  I am more concerned about Friday's test and hope the results are equally as good.

~~~Vibes for the Desired Results!!~~~
