I'm hoping Al's Karma is about to change. Yesterday he was feeling lousy and fevered and so another course of Antibiotics was started for a suspected UTI. This morning when I arrived I was disappointed to find him still in bed and very flushed and lethargic. I caught up with his physician and was told along with a UTI he also now has prostatitis.
So today he was constantly having bladder scans and when his bladder was full he would be catheterized to give him relief because he can't seem to empty himself with this new infection. He had been in a lot of discomfort but by late this afternoon he was starting to feel the positive effects of the antibiotics.
A private room became available today and it was offered to us. The staff were concerned that I may not want it because it had been my room in 2006 when I was there for my own rehab stay. I actually took it as a good sign and I think the room has good energy, it faces east and is bright and big. So I am hopeful this is good karma. A friend popped me home to bring Bridget for a visit. She is making quite a hit at the hospital.
