Joe's latest status 


 

Well, Joe is doing a lot better last Saturdays visit. Hardly talked about the crazies and his daily dilemma at all. A first in a long time. I usually go in with some trepidation about having to listen to it all again, but Joe was pleasantly mellow that day. He has gone five days without fainting so think that has him in a better mood. It's bad enough having to live with the sick people there, day-in-and-day-out like Joe does, but then to have to suffer his fainting spells on top of all that would tend to make anyone less than jovial.

Joe handed me a batch of new photos, and I told him I would add them to the blog here. His dialysis has been going fairly smoothly. Next week he goes in for surgery to place a port into his arm (wrist area) where according to the medical people is less likely to have infections. Currently his port is in his chest. It only takes about a hour for the surgery, and of course no food beforehand. Joe's not to happy about it, but putting on a good face about it. I think with all considering Joe's dealing a lot better than most of us would. Have a good day. :Dave
