I saw Dad this morning. He looked well…for being in a
hospital. They changed his dressing at 2am. The kidney doctor returns
today.
Enclosed is the link to two audio files. One is Dr. K and
the procedure done in Dad’s hospital room to drain the abscess. I think it is
elf-explanatory. Tom and Mary provide some great commentary as well as
insightful questions. Dad talks about it at the end and Mary recaps the
episode. It’s about 20 minutes long.
The Kidney Specialist (Dr. Psyche (sp)) is about 15 minutes and there is a lot of talk of Dad’s kidney function. The Dr. Talks about high blood pressure and tries to clarify if Dad has it or not. This is important because if Dad’s blood pressure was high before he started taking medication that could have impaired his kidney function. Keep an eye on your blood pressure people! I think one of the more interesting pieces of info was the doctor saying that as kidney function goes down you cannot concentrate your urine and that causes frequent urination…one of the complaints Dad has.
