November 7

The good news coming out of today is: the hose work that occurred yesterday is yielding positive results. That is to say, most of the urine is going to the catheter bag rather than spilling into the abdominal cavity. The abdominal drain had minimal amounts today. Judy still has the nephrostomy draining one kidney and a catheter draining the other kidney via the bladder. On the other front, Judy is still having trouble with nausea. I gave her a Starbucks Gingerbread Tea Misto (Don't ever order this item: the baristas will look at you like you have two heads)and Judy really enjoyed the bevvy. You know how Judy is slightly type A. Well, you will appreciate this. Judy had some of her minions call me with a request to buy two wrist watches for her hospital bed. Why? You ask. Well, she needs to have a watch for when she is on her left side and a watch for her right side. As luck would have it, I found two watches in Judy's wristwatch pile. A trip to Walmart for two new watches was not necessary. The two watches are now in place on the rails of her bed. Thankfully, Judy has so many watches she didn't recognize the watches I delivered were recycled. You my find this hard to believe, but sometimes I don't do as I'm told. The Queen still loves me.
