Day twenty

Dear Friends,
Bizarre update: Molly's kidney is working so well, they are having to give me phosphorus. This after years where it was my principal concern for being too high. Can't I just drink a Coke?

Woke up feeling normal again. Vital signs as they should be. They removed the Foley catheter. More comfortable now. Managed to get myself out of bed without help.

Other biological functions getting back to normal. (if you know what I mean)

They're not going to let me go home because of the infection. They want to know what it is and have a good plan in place to treat it. Maybe Tuesday. So it's a day of antibiotics, sitting around and being forced to eat terrible food.

Well, now I'm a surgeon. I accidentally pulled on my JP drain and almost completely pulled it out. They were going to remove it eventually anyway, but I'm Jason Bourne. Hurt like hell. Except for piddling little IVs, I am free of plastic tubes for the first time since May 15 of last year.
