Its is hard to believe that it has been 14 days since the 1st surgery happened. Actually, it really isn't that hard to believe.
Folks, our Raymon is Raymon. Today for the first time, he has been up and at 'em all day thus far; reading, talking with guests, eating, attending to landlord business, watching the T.V. news and all at the same time. He had coffee and a bagel earlier.
Oh, he will tire out soon enough, take a good nap and be at it again. What would have been Glee Club night is now rest night. Tackling the subway that far isn't in the cards yet. But he is getting there.
So to the medical summary: Last Sunday morning he was weak and pale. Sunday afternoon, his color returned and stamina with it. Sunday night, that Raymon humor caused laughing, which although painful, sounded great.
Monday was mostly at the hospital meeting appointments, turning in forms, running tests and getting more information. We even stopped by a familiar waiting room to take a break from all the business. I think the staff was surprised to see people not wanting to see anybody...
The neurology staff came and looked over him while he was in the hospital. They did not like some weakness on his left side before and after surgery. So they ordered a MRI after the staples were out. That was last Friday. Monday, the new guy ordered MRI number 2 when he pin-pointed the possible instigator area. The MRI machine was supposedly not available for at least a month.
As directed, we went down to make the MRI appointment. But no one was there except the attendants. Um....do you have any cancelations today? Why yes we do, one just canceled, why?
2nd MRI done, we made the neuro appoint for May 6 (rather than possibly 6 weeks from yesterday).
Also on May 6, that hypertension study wants to check on things. (Remember he did not have this even though parts of his body said he did.)
The new date to discuss the prostate surgery will be June 25.
We'll let you know...
