First today’s good news. I had blood drawn first thing this morning. My doctor was here shortly after. The infection is completely gone. My heart and lungs sound good. She can clearly see the catheter is doing the trick. Excess fluids are greatly reduced. She looked at my hand and very happily said, “I can see the wrinkles!” Um, thanks?
The urologist was here later. Catheter needs to remain until Monday when he’ll evaluate again. Thanks to the catheter I slept well last night, so I’ll stop complaining (or at least I’ll try).
San Geraldo has been having some floaters in his eyes recently. Very common, but it does make him think there’s a fly in his peripheral vision. It happens to me, too. Today SG wondered if they were really in his eyes or simply in his mind. Yes he did. I said they’re in his eyes and that’s why they “float.” He then wondered where they float to. “Do they float from one eye to the other?” No, they don’t.
Sorry for the in-bed photo. I was relaxing.
Primero las buenas noticias de hoy. Me sacaron sangre a primera hora de la mañana. Mi médico estuvo aquí poco después. La infección ha desaparecido por completo. Mi corazón y mis pulmones suenan bien. Puede ver claramente que el catéter está funcionando. El exceso de líquidos se reduce considerablemente. Ella miró mi mano y muy feliz dijo: “¡Puedo ver las arrugas!” ¿Gracias?
El urólogo vino más tarde. El catéter debe permanecer hasta el lunes, cuando lo evaluarán nuevamente. Gracias al catéter anoche dormí bien, así que dejaré de quejarme (o al menos lo intentaré).
San Geraldo ha tenido algunas moscas volantes en los ojos recientemente. Muy común, pero le hace pensar que hay una mosca en su visión periférica. A mí también me pasa. Hoy SG se preguntó si realmente estaban en sus ojos o simplemente en su mente. Sí lo hizo. Dije que están en sus ojos y por eso “flotan”. Luego se preguntó hacia dónde flotaban. “¿Flotan de un ojo al otro?” No, no lo hacen.
Perdón por la foto en la cama. Me estaba relajando.
“But you know me, I can’t complain…”
Anon,
That’s still so true.
You look great for a guy with a catheter! Hey – you look great period!
Wilma,
The hospital lighting is good!
Boud here. Mustnt grumble!! Very glad you’re doing much better today. Your grumbling sounds more energetic.
😉
Boud,
If I didn’t know any better and if weren’t otherwise “attached,” I’d be out for a long, long walk!
It’s good to see you looking happy and healthy! I deal with some floaters. Someone told me they’re actually shadows, but who knows. I just know I’ve often felt like that old woman with the swatter.
Kelly,
Although I don’t like the cartoon of the woman herself, I do love the premise. Orson Bean believed floaters were orgon energy. Interesting but weird.
Glad your wrinkles are back! 🤣
Floaters in the eyes are very common. I’ve had them, on and off, since I was a youngster. Nothing to worry about, as long as you have your normal regular eye examinations. Jx
That’s weird – I’m logged in, and it still shows me as anonymous. Jx
Jon,
I started with floaters when I was in my early teens and thought they were so cool. SG’s can drive him nuts some days. And, yes, we both have regular eye exams.
This post made my day, and for a guy in a hospital bed, you look fabulous!!!
Love all the good news.
Keep it up!!
Bob,
It’s the hospital lighting.
Floaters ~ the Invasion of the Eye Floaters ~ now I believe Jim ~ he’s not pulling my leg!
Ron,
You don’t have floaters? I’ve had them since I was a teen. Sometimes they could drive you crazy. Yes, believe Jim (in everything).
I don’t want to Jinx my Floaterless World! I guess I should be grateful!
Ron,
I won’t mention it again.
Hope you soon see wrinkles in the parts that should be wrinkled. Keep getting better.
David,
“It” is looking more like it used to!!!
😆😁😆 😘
You’re looking great! Glad to hear the infection’s gone and you’re on the mend from everything else!
Debra,
Things are going in the right direction. Just never thought I’d have this direction to go!
LOL !
You do look GREAT!….I mean good!
Oh the floaters …..my buddies.
Jim,
I remember having floaters as a kid and spending minutes trying to track them around. Never knew what they were except magic moving around the surface of my eyes. Now I just swat flies!
“Magic mend and candle burn,
Sickness end; good health return.”
I use my Voodoo Doll and Obeah powers sparingly to preserve their potency. The photo of your handsome mug, dazzlingly smile and rosy complexion confirmed yesterday’s ritual on your behalf a success from over 5,000 miles away. I’m so glad to see you’re feeling better. Thank you for keeping us updated on your progress.
Anon (Shirley?),
Thanks for the magic!
You look terrific! I am so relieved to see your happy, handsome face!
Ms. Moon
MsMoon,
Thanks. Never thought I’d be dealing with this. But we do what we must!
Wrinkles never looked so good! It is good to see you smiling.
Michael,
I’m guessing my doctor is under 40. I’m glad SHE’S happy to see my wrinkles.
I gotta say, I’m a fan of the gown. The blue brings your eyes out. So happy to see you smiling!
Kathleen,
Oh these hospital gowns. I’m now wearing one of Jerry’s bathrobes. A tasteful slate gray in a waffle weave. So much more comfortable and elegant. I’m ready for my close-up.
Yipppeeee!
J Chabot,
Let’s go out immediately to celebrate.
It’s so good to see your face! I’m happy for the good report. Keep ’em coming! xx
Jennifer
Jennifer,
Hoping for continued improvement and good news.
Wrinkles as a sign of health. There’s a good side to everything.
Kirk,
Who’da think it?
Well, you certainly LOOK healthy in that photo. I’m glad things are looking up, floaters notwithstanding. What a relief.
Steve,
Feeling misleadingly good. Thanks!
If that handsome glow is an indicator of how well you feel, then HOORAY! I am SO relieved things are moving in the right direction and you are feeling better. Wishing you more pleasurable sensations in your nether regions, soon!
Sassybear:
Oh these nether regions. It’s like something out of science fiction (or maybe porn after a penis pump).
