Jan’s Doing A Little Better . . .
First I want to thank everyone for the dozens of get well wishes, so many that I can’t answer them all separately right now.
I was back at the hospital by 9 this morning, wanting to be sure I was there when the urologist came by. I was told he normally came in early, but he didn’t show up until about 1pm. Maybe that’s early for him.
About noon I went down to the cafeteria to grab a sandwich to eat there. I didn’t want to bring it back to the room, afraid the sight and smell would make Jan even hungrier than she already is, not having eaten until yesterday morning.
Luckily, besides the standard cafeteria food, they had farmed out the sandwich area and had fresh Subway subs, and chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A. So I went with a Spicy Chicken Sandwich from CFA. Really good and better food than I was expecting,
The urologist showed up about 1pm and turned everything around. He wants to treat the UTI and get that taken care of before they worry about the remaining kidney stone. In fact they may wait 10 days or so before they come back to it. She’s not in any pain from it so it should work out OK.
What they wanted to do today was to put in a urethral stent to help flush and drain her right kidney where the infection is.
They took her in to PreOp about 3pm, started the procedure at 3:45 and were done by 4pm. Pretty quick.
By 6pm she was much more coherent and not as drowsy. I did get her to eat a few bites of turkey sandwich and some Jell-o when her dinner tray came. But that filled her up pretty fast, so they’ll try to get her more later this evening.
I left about 7pm and stopped off at King Food for a big bowl of Hot & Sour Soup before I headed back to the rig.
I’ll be back down there by about 9 tomorrow morning. really hoping to see a big improvement after the Cipro really kicks in and she’s gotten a little more food in her.
Thought for the Day:
The only thing worse than hospital coffee is discovering that the only Lipton tea bags they have are decaffeinated.
