Two Steps Forward...

Today was a much better day for Dan. Dan was moved to the High Acuity Unit (HAU) yesterday due to his hemoglobin levels and constant nausea, which have now righted themselves thanks to four more units of blood and some other TLC. His pain management is going very well and he should soon be transitioned off the PCA IV and to solely oral medication. He received his second round of dialysis, which took three attempts to take this time ... but hey, third times the charm? (In reality, I was a pretty pissy wife about the numerous tries and clotted lines and was pushing for them to find a different entry point ... but anyway ... enough about me ... ) He'll spend the night in HAU again tonight, and move tomorrow to the surgical recovery ward in 3South again. Thankfully! This means the girls can come visit and give him his Father's Day gifts in person. We didn't want them to visit in the HAU due to a number of reasons, but 3South is much more laid back and not as intimidating. ...

The Star Of The Hour

Dan would like to share his tumor with you all. Please be forewarned - this is pretty disgusting. Only, and I repeat, ONLY click on this if you're truly interested in what a Stage 4 Kidney Cancer tumor looks like - cut in half, that is. If you do, click on the pomegranate: ... ... Maybe don't be eating anything either. Just sayin'.
