Good and bad news on G

OK, well, they called in the Dr. who had done the surgery on the carotid artery,
after the really high blood pressure reading of 230 over 110.

The Dr. ordered discontinuing the heparin, but then sent G for a 2 hour dialysis
run, hoping it would reduce the swelling.

It did reduce the swelling a lot, not totally, but at least enough that G was
feeling well enough to eat today.

I understand why they don't want his blood so thin, but you sometimes can't
have it both ways.

Anyway, he is eating, which is good. I am sure he will be OK for the next day or
so, and hopefully he will get home by Tuesday.
