Quick Update

G's catheter was coming out yesterday morning when they started to hook him up for dialysis.

So he had to go to the "access center". We had to wait because they had to work him in,
so we were there from about 11:30 until 2:30. They managed to put another catheter
in the same spot, then he went back for dialysis from 3:00 until 6:30.

G will go Monday to have the PD catheter "exposed", and start classes on Tuesday, so he can do home dialysis. Classes are Tuesday through Friday, and hopefully he will be good to go.
The dialysis company called back and said they would figure out some way to work
him in to the classes next week.

G's hearing in his right ear is better. He went to the Ear Nose and Throat Dr. last week, they
said it might only be temporary, and to come back in 3 months. They had given him steroids,
which appeared to do the trick, but I don't really understand why it might only be temporary.

His eyesight is so much better. He can now read things on the computer.

They released him from Occupational Therapy, but he will continue Physical Therapy. He is set up for 4 weeks, 2 days a week , in Jan. for P/T.

Because of the change in his dialysis catheter, he is not suppose to get up and down much, so he will have to again take it easy. He had been getting up and down to get things for himself from the kitchen, but I guess I get to play waitress again for a while.
