Les continues to be awake quite a lot, but doesn't really care to converse. He did say he was bored yesterday, but we're not quite sure how to cure the boredom. He really has no interest in reading, watching movies, playing cards, or using the laptop. Realistically, we're not sure what he is able to do. His hands have been quite shaky this week, so the laptop and cards might be difficult. He is smiling more and that always warms our hearts.
Dr. Tarantolo will see us next Friday afternoon (unless some pesky infection causes us to see him before that). Les isn't drinking much so we continue to worry about dehydration and another bladder infection. The swelling and redness have virtually disappeared, although it is still painful to the touch. Gowning up is still required. Thanks for all the positive thoughts coming our way!
It's nice to get an update and to see a photo! I'm guessing Carolyn is smiling under that mask! You're all in our thoughts and prayers, as always.

You can really tell a difference in appearance since backing off some of the medications! I'm glad the smiles are more frequent and hope your interest in eating and drinking becomes more appealing!
ReplyDeleteAuntie C....you're looking quite cute in the surgical gear! :)
Love to all....
