December 10, 2006 , Day 54


Friends,

Nothing much new today. The doctor was happy with my progress. He now has extended my time away from the hospital to two days instead of one. Yesterday I really crashed emotionally. Then my brother called and said he was coming to visit this week. Then we went out and actually accomplished something. I worked out for a while with this green rubber band the Physical Therapist gave me. Finally, I spent most of the afternoon feeling warm. It turned out to be a pretty good day after all! The intestinal problems are improving slowly, but I am not absorbing fluids properly so my creatinine is creeping up. Creatinine is an indicator of kidney function. If it is high, that can indicate kidney problems. I think once I get my intestines back in shape, the kidneys will be fine. My next hospital visit will be on Wednesday.
