Ups and Downs

First for the good news. G is walking better. And, much further. He is now back to walking as far as he was before the surgery. He says his balance is better.

He is also starting to try to use the keyboard on the computer, something he has not done for some time. I think his coordination was quite bad.

Now for the bad news. The catheter for dialysis is again not running well. And, the surgeon saw G on Friday and said to come back in 6 weeks, and by then he thinks they will be able to use the new fistula site. So, this catheter has to hold out until then.

G said he would take a pillow to sit on Monday, as he hasn't done that the last week or more, as the catheter was running OK. As the catheter is in his groin area, sitting on a pillow will make the area flatter, as where he goes for dialysis they only have recliners to sit in, no beds to lie on.

So, once again, keeping fingers crossed.
