I arrived back at the hospital 4:30ish, just as Ed was returning from dialysis. Dialysis was not as difficult as usual, not painful, just boring. For you numbers geeks, his creatinine was 8.04 and BUN was 67 prior to dialysis. Ed was as settled, calm as he has been since I arrived. We asked the nurse if Ed could go by wheelchair into the outdoor courtyard, she inquired and said yes. Ed and I went, spent almost an hour enjoying the sun, flowers, fresh air, and playing cards. When we returned to the room, Nancy Knight was there for a visit.
Another note: Ed says the kidney Dr. said urine production is good,, but toxin removal is not so good. Dr may consider trip to "Big Wake" for a kidney biopsy. TBD.
That brings us to the present. Ta ta.
