Ed's home1 I picked him up yesterday afternoon and he had a doctor appointment with a new urologist for the testicular infection situation. Have an ultrasound scheduled at Los Robles Hospital this morning, then we should be clear for the week until our UCLA appointment on Friday.
Pepperoni pizza was on last night's menu and he ate 2 pieces (usually it's 7 or 8, but hey, it's a good start). He also ate salad - yeah - Birkenstocks can't be far behind. :)
Our nurse Lisa came by last night and taught me all the new procedures for the IV antibiotics - pretty simple but the pole keeps him a little tied down for 60-75 minutes 3 times a day. I told him he's just going to have draw on his memory file to imagine there's someone ON the pole that will make the sitting still more bearable! Lisa told us that she and her husband are in this month's issue of BIKER magazine, so we'll be looking for that. She's the perfect nurse for Ed - amazingly smart AND loves motorcycles - truly a great fit. She'll be back o draw blood on Wednesday morning and then we're planning to take off for the lake for an ovenight trip.
The weather is gorgeous so we're looking forward to the week. Have a great day!
Hey that's great news, Ed, I didn't realize you were up to eating as much as you are -- I know that's a huge accomplishment and must make you feel awesome so congrats to you brother.
ReplyDeleteFor efficiency's sake, knowing that you like biker chicks and your nurse is a biker, maybe SHE could dance on the IV pole for you to make the time go faster --- just a suggestion!
Love you man, TC
Pepperoni Pizza! Yummy, Can I volunteer to bring dinner from Ottavio's one day? Let me know when.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Kisses.
I love TC's suggestion about Lisa and the IV pole!! Great news, to be out of the hospital, and eating pizza and salad. I hope that the weather holds and that you have an awesome time at the lake. My advice against waterskiing still holds. xoxo Jeanne
ReplyDeleteHejsan! (Another "hi" in Swedish) Glad to hear you are getting a good break this week! Must be good appetite day - pizza sounds good! Mom says Dad ate a whole hamburger today - yay! Hoping this post works today per your hints, Liz. Haven't tried it again from iPhone yet.
