Sunday was a very relaxing day for us - I even got to try out the beautiful pool at our temporary "resort" for the first time. We enjoyed a visit from Dan and Carol and generally took things easy. Leslie came by on her way to visit a friend, and insisted on taking my laundry home to wash for me. I feel so indulged!
Today got off to a good start other than having to wait in the freezing and windy lab waiting area for over 40 minutes this morning. But we survived and returned home, Bob to a nap and me to my laptop for a couple of hours. When he woke up he was still feeling lots of pain, continuing later into the day than usual. He rallied (sort of) when Leslie and Chris arrived with fresh bagels and clean laundry, but was just not up to par. When our visiting nurse arrived he took advantage of the exam and just stayed in bed the rest of the afternoon. We had a scare when his temp rose above his normal by a few degrees, and were advised that we had to head for the E.D if it hit 100 - meaning the chance of infection was in the danger zone. I'm very pleased to report that it has come back down after dinner (and a lots of water).
He is now focusing on finishing his book that has been nearly done for a week now. Friends have been bringing more and more books, so he's motivated to move on to the next one! Tomorrow we hope the kidney transplant folks will finally take away Mr Foley, then we'll get a visit from the Physical Therapy person in the afternoon....that was delayed a week due to last week's unexpected hospitalization. Tomorrow will mark 4 weeks since the transplant, and we really hope that Bob's recovery from all the side effects picks up speed and he feels better soon.
