Dick has returned to his home in Morton today. It is the first time he has been home since January 24 when he left for vacation headed to Florida with his brothers. What a turn of events from that cold January day when they left with such excitement. Who would have guessed that he would have taken such a detour in his life.
He had an enjoyable visit with his kids and grandchildren. He may have overdone just a bit because he was quite tired this afternoon but he took nap in his own bed, something that he.......
Well that was the start of my blog yesterday evening but as you can see from Amy's blog things took another detour. Remember that roller coaster in life I had spoken of in a previous blog well we were on another ride. Happy to be home when we hit the big turn.
He is now back home again but he actually would have preferred to have stayed in the hospital last night and have his kidney stone removed today but after the urologist looked at the location of the stone they decided that it was too high so they want it to drop before they remove it. I guess this is one of those location, location, location kind of things. He will follow up with his urologist today, drink lots and lots of water and in the next couple of days when the stone has moved to a better position they will retrieve it.
He was in a great deal of pain and it took quite a bit of pain medication to relieve him of his pain, but he is resting comfortably now. One of the reason's he was hoping to stay in the hospital and get this bout over with was due to the IV placement. Since he has been in the hospital they have used up his good veins with IVs and they have a hard time finding one on him right now. It took quite a few sticks and finally the best IV guy there to finally find a good vein. Now he will have to go through that part all over again. But as always he was a trooper.
As Amy said you may want wait a few days before stopping by.
