I returned to Boise today. It is nice to be back in the warm part of Idaho. I forgot to mention that mom's skin graft is healing nicely and that the staples were removed from this site as well. Today mom had her inferior vena cava filter removed by an interventional radiologist. As a reminder, this was placed in the major vein which drains the lower part of her body in order to prevent clots from traveling to the lungs. She is now on a medication to prevent clot formation. She is all tuned up and ready for her transfer tomorrow.
