A bit soggy on the inside

So today we had the follow up visit to the ER visit of the other night. All weekend Wayne wore the bandage from the ER and protected his side and hoped there would be no spillage (yuk). I let him get away with murder this weekend spoiling his little hiney but now things are going to be different. The doctor said he has more fluid but not enough to drain. He has other water retention as a result of the surgical trauma to the body so he now has to take a diuretic and eat two bananas a day. He also has to take a steroid for inflammation. Soon the water buildup will dissipate and this includes the side by his lung. The doctor said yes to walk a lot and breathe very deeply. No more fear of hurting himself. So once he takes his nap, he will be up and at 'em. (Funny thing today, the doctor mentioned after seeing Wayne's name that he went to Creighton University as did I. Turns out we both lived in the same dorm during the school year 81-82). Wayne has had many calls, visits, cards and other well wishes and we can't even begin thank you but if any of you ever get sick or have surgery we will be on your doorstep to try and pay back all that has been given to us. It makes us both cry to think about how much "family" we both have up here and around the country supporting us. Don't spoil him too much more or he will begin to think this is reality. Will post again in a few days. Marian
