Jan 16

Deb and I both slept good again. The lab got here early (5:30am) to draw blood and we got the results about 7am. My white counts are 1.6 so from what the doctor said yesterday I should be able to go home today. The doctor got here at 11:30am and she said everything looked good except the incision that was made when the catheter was put in. It looks red and like it needs to be drained so she said she was going to have a surgeon look at it, so I might not be going home today. While waiting for the surgeon, the incision swelling went down, but the surgeon hasn't been here yet (2:45pm). Still waiting. // There was a lack of communication between the doctor and the surgeon so it looks like I won't be going home today. Just for the heck of it, Deb and I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut, we're splurging!!! // Well, it's official, I'm staying another night, they never got a hold of the doctor who saw me today, oh well, roll with the punches! Actually, this is the longest day I've spent here, by far!!! On a good note, Dan got our heater going, the coils were plugged and he cleaned them and its working now! Yeah! So all of you who have central heat, go out and replace your filters once a month. You can buy a box of them for not too much money, you just have to measure the one you have now and get the right size. We watched American Idol tonight and it was pretty funny! Well, good night and God bless you all for now!
IN HIS HANDS,
