Back at St. Mary's.... We knew this was coming, but hoped Dick could snap back at home. Four some reason, he cannot keep his oxygen at safe levels... looks like he will be celebrating his birthday here!  Poor Dude!

Yup.... Stuck in the hospital for his birthday.  He had emergency surgery to look for some sort of leak in his belly.  Nothing specific found... A small section of small colon removed.  Probably just so the surgeon felt like he did something...  Poor Dick. He's pretty miserable and with regrets he ever agreed to any of this!

Fluids....

Another visit to the clinic... The dr. decided a bag of fluids would help the DH with his twitches (jerks)... When you don't have a camera in your antique iPad, isn't it nice to be able to capture such events with a drawing!

I also found a new app to record this history.... Yup!  Need a computer to keep track of doctors, meds, procedures, treatments, labs.... This app allows me to add illustrations, photos, and even voice files!  I'll save the voice recording for doctor mumbo-jumbo!

 Fast forward four days...

We ended up in Urgent Care!  Four hours later, we were sent home.  He was hydrated again, blood drawn, some medications adjusted... And we go back for more tests on Friday.  No idea why this is happening.... Just "lucky" I guess.....  Highlight of the day was reconnecting with a former neighbor who won us as her patient today!  Thanks Lynn for the great care!

I can't hear you!
