Ed has rallied after a rest. Friederike asked that I mention that he has been receiving a lidocain patch each day at 10AM (12 hrs on, 12 hrs off). They removed the patch today to limit the meds in his system with his confusion. The dietitian visited to go over the next few meal and he was understanding well and able to express his preferences. He reports that the turkey bacon from yesterday's breakfast "tasted like a telephone pole."
