Oh, sj, what a PITA for you. I hope that you do hear back quickly.
I'm here in Daniel's hospital room... we had lunch together, and he is now giving in to the pain meds given right before he ate (I had to wake him up a couple of times so he would not fall asleep in his cottage cheese). I am soooooooo glad I brought lots of fresh veggies (and some small containers of Ranch dip) and some roast turkey lunch meat. The broccoli salad they gave him was one that a coworker makes and is absolutely delightful, except she obviously does not work for the hospital food service. So it was something other than delightful. And I'm continually astounded that they consider the amounts of vegetables and protein they give him even remotely adequate for a large man who is fighting a massive infection. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it take a fair bit of protein, among other things, to build white blood cells?
On the upside, Daniel tells me the doc said his leg is improving. It looks more icky, but I keep reminding myself it is just part of the process.
All possible good healing wishes to Daniel and his leg. And to Andi.
I need to go make it look like I accomplished something today. And I reallyreallyreally need to buy, sign, tuck a check in, address, stamp and, you know actually, really *mail* the birthday card that's been on my list for a week. But before I can do that, I have to find my other checkbook.
Wish me luck. Send a search party if you don't hear from me by COB. Here I go.
Windsparrow, how are you doing? This has to be difficult for you. I'm glad to here that Daniel is improving!
I have to go back to the doctor tomorrow. I'm so not pleased.
WTH, sj? That's so not on.

What she said.
Finding checkbook~ma, Beverly!
Dammit. I'm so out of spoons right now.
Glad to hear that Daniel's healing, Andi. Continued ~ma in that direction, and lots of ~ma to you, too.

She is worried that it could be something other than a uti. She's being overcautious, and I don't think she knows me well enough yet to understand I know my body. But I'm really not interested in going in again and having to pay another co-pay. It's also another delay in starting antibiotics. I'll talk to my doctor about it tomorrow.
Epic, so sorry about Domino.
Hope Daniel's leg gets better soon.

I'm remembering my stint in the hospital with septicemia in my leg. I very much resent that my enforced four-day vacation was wasted on drugged sleep and being barely able to focus on daytime TV.
As one who has been on both sides of the hospital bed rail, Andi, power to the spouse.
