Tomorrow we have a consultation with the Urologist. Ken's plumbing is not working. For the third time since Ken got ill, the catheter was pulled to see if he could urinate. A small amount of urine is produced. but not enough, so the urine backs up in his bladder. By 4:00 this afternoon, another catheter was installed. The Urologist was expected today at 7:00pm but he did not appear. Kenny, Anne and I waited for him. Tomorrow will be the day we figure out the options.
Ken commented to me that getting better was like watching grass grow. He is so sick of the hospital. The poor fellow. We keep his cell phone plugged in and he has his ear phones to listen audio books. The physical therapist comes twice a day and gives him a good work out. But he is very weak. Kenny and Anne say he is improved since they first arrived and last evening he walked a bit in the hall. Tonight he was able to shuffle from the bed to the chair, with assistance of the therapist, Anne and the walker. He is eating well. Fish and vegetables for dinner tonight. Anne and Ken are with him now. Kenny and Anne spent time with him this morning while I stayed all day until returning at 7:30. He enjoys company. This afternoon he gave me a lecture about staying relaxed, which is easier said than done. And that is the state of Ken today.
