At last some positive "action", after 2 blood transfusions they are going to operate and scrape the left lung early next week. I don't know why, but just the fact they are going to do something, as drastic as it is, brings some relief.
I'm not in the hospital and these people are doing a good job of causing me to end up in a padded cell. Now they operation is off again and they went from morphine 8 to (it sounded like) dalodin.
He was supposed to go in early this morning but someone who needed open heart surgery bumped him. So, he has been sedated all this time and they just wheeled him in. We should know something in about 2 hours.
MRSA from the biopsy. No doubt in my mind this came from sharing drugs. Skin to skin or fluid transfer is the way you get it. My family had to be disinfected before they left the hospital as a precaution only. The nurse assured everyone they were safe. Now we have to worry about his wife because they shared drugs. At least now they know what to check for. And so it goes.... I may just go to bed for a week or two.
They are removing all the tubes today and he is up (with assistance) and moving about. He is anxiously awaiting the time when he can wipe his own butt.
As my Chinese friend says, "HARARUYAH !!" That's great news, JD. Now, relax a bit and have a stogie. I remember not liking being up and walking a day or two after surgery but it all gets better from here.
