30 Packets Have Been Used

Last night we applied the 30th packet of Aldara to Bob's left hand, left temple area, and head. The part applied to the hand was mixed with some Tazorac. As you can see from the photos, the pharmaceuticals have been doing a real number on the areas where they have been applied. As you could guess, the areas are quite tender and Bob is very happy to not have any more applications.

Today Bob had his INR checked at Dr. Galli's office and the reading was 1.1 where they want it to be between 2 and 3. (Dr. Galli may change his coumadin dosage but he was not in when the test was done.) That is probably why the displacement of a scab on his arm yesterday (when we went to the audiologist) caused blood to run down his arm onto his watch band. We were waiting for the audiologist to get back from lunch when I noticed the blood. Fortunately we were able to take care of things with a tissue and it has not bled any more.
