Ed's scheduled to be released momentarily.
His creatinine plummeted a full point on today's bloodwork, an excellent sign of recovery!
The paperwork is prepared; when Jeanne arrives to pick him up they are to call the "hospitalist" who will sign or facilitate the discharge, wrapping up the details.
They will leave with the catheter in place. Monday Ed's blood will be drawn as outpatient, then Tuesday they'll have the results and if his levels are still low (hopefully still dropping) they will schedule the removal of the catheter.
I am going to invite Ed to be a top level poster on the blog so, he may post his typical, chronologically correct, recollection of the events and experience. Then again, he may just crawl into bed. Only time will tell.
Thanks to all for the concern, care, wishes, thoughts, vibes, and stuff.
As of 2PM, he's home!
I called and they had just walked in the door. Since it's Saturday the hospital is low on staff and discharge is not as important as caring for the sick, so they take their sweet time.
Regardless, Ed is out of the hospital (for now).
