You can keep your socks on

Since Dys hard a hard night the night before last, I spent the night in his room.
Poor Sally was almost wild with the need to go outside.

Dys is doing as well as expected. He is still very weak, but eating well, which deserves a badge of duty above and beyond the call of duty, seeing that it's hospital food.

Now I'm home for a while to get some real sleep before going back to the hospital.

You all will get an update probably late tonight.

The cowboy is hanging in.

Love you

Was to telephone yesterday; thought better of it without recent update, glad to wait a while longer as patient and primary caregiver recuperate a bit more.

I'm up for a few minutes to let out the dog and want to let all of you know that Dys would love calls and emails. Don't hesitate, he is lonely and is being poked and proded. blood taken, vitals checked with nothing much in between. He is pretty miserable with no real stimulation and no one to talk to for so many times during the day.

Don't worry, he will tell you if he needs to go to sleep, but you know how Dys loves to talk. It's been like everything has been taken away from him except every unpleasant test imaginable.

Call. Email. He needs communication and to be thought of.

Love you all.

Just talked to the cowboy on the telephone. He sounded so good that I accussed him of faking the entire thing.

How strange to have found this poem by him at the same time that Flutter By was talking to the animals.
Denouement

My life is of sentences,
an occassional paragraph.
There are no chapters.
The beginning, the end
are written on the same page.
You can read my life
if you take the time.
Start anywhere,
stop when you are tired.

I hope he continues to write poetry!

Get all the sleep you can, girl.
Rest is a weapon.

This is soooooooooo cool! I'm gonna enjoy going through these with Dys

Littlek is right Butrfly! You're awesome!

<come on Dys, lets go hang out at the museums >

I'm sure going to spend time at that site, Butryfly.

Talked to Dys a bit ago, so far so good. His going home is dependent on his "vitals", including oxygen percentage - which he's doing well at, lung xrays, and the bladder infection.

I'm promising him pasta with clam sauce, soon.

Anyway, he sounded good.

doc just left, only issue remaining is bladder infection, if it clears I go home tomorrow.

Yippee!

Excellent!

Fantastic!!!!!!!

((((((Dys))))))

Yay yay!

Gonna be good to be home, for sure, dude.

nurse just removed catheter, will check it tonite 9 pm. if all ok at 9 will do discharge plan for tomorrow, otherwise, caater ba ck i (Oh Joy, currently feeling good waiting for dinner. nurse started IV with iron, I guess I'm anemic .

That would be a good reason to be feeling weak and tired. I was amazed at how much better I felt after my blood transfusions and bags of iron and potassium.

Gawd, I hope they don't need to redo the catheter. Those things are instruments of torture!

Fred is sure going to give you an ear full about missing you.
