I was hoping Bob would feel inspired to update his story after getting home from the hospital, but, not surprisingly, his energy is a bit on the low side. So I will report that things are calm. We had a great visit from Leslie Tuesday afternoon: she needed her dad's expert opinion on her search for a new car. Even after cancelling most of his car magazines, he is still more of an expert than the rest of us, and immediate family members do not consider buying a car without consulting him.
Yesterday he returned to his normal dialysis center. All went well for the first 2 hours, then his arm started bleeding and the treatment had to be stopped. Since I had insisted on driving him, he had to call me to come get him early, since they could not resume the treatment after stopping it. It still took another hour after I arrived before the bleeding stopped, so instead of leaving early, it was later than usual AND he has to return for other 2 hours of treatment today. So we figure his platelet count is still too low....
The rest of this week and next is full of miscellaneous doctor appointments and then we plan to head to Capitola for the annual family Thanksgiving getaway, if luck is with us! I don't expect to have news to share every day, so please assume all is well if there is no new post.
Thanks for following this loooong, slooooow story - we hope along with everyone else for a happy ending sooner rather than later!
