August 2

Hi all,
Another day post surgery and more positive steps forward. Today his Foley catheter came out. Are all you men wincing?  He did not care for that procedure! As well, he now has a regular IV line, the central line is out. They have stopped the epidural to see if he can manage his pain with some regularly awesome drugs, oxycodone and OxyContin. Yes, both of them but well regulated. If he does ok, they will take the epidural out. As well they are considering taking out the nasal drain.

Arnie is now in a semi private room. He bid goodbye to the loud roommates. But you should see the new roommate. Only time will tell how this plays out.

Arnie put on big boy sweatpants so he feels more human.

I saved the biggest news for last..... Can you guess? Well, if you guessed that he passed gas, pat yourselves on the back. Is it too much info if I told you he also went to the bathroom standing up?

All in all, another good day and its only 1 pm.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Liz
