I wish I would have known more about skin care. Because she got a wound, she got a bedsore that turned into a wound that turned into a Category 4 wound that went septic, on our wedding anniversary. And if I would have had more knowledge, and instead of being the kind of person saying, "you take care of it, you're the nurse," I would have been on top of it, and it would have never happened to her. We would have never lost the time that we lost in the hospitals for operations, aggravation, wound VACs, terrible, terrible things, just—I wish I would have known a lot more about skin care. And every day I check from her toes to her shoulders, I make sure everything is fine.
