Recovering at home





Thinking back all the times Craig has been in hospitals, it is starting to worry me.  But it’s great to see Craig back home from the hospital.  So he’s been in hospital for 10 days and it was due to kidney failure.  His potassium was kind of low so they had to bring that up.  He actually doesn’t eat right, and I don’t know if that was the cause of him going to the hospital or the time he had his colonoscopy done.

When he was released, his body swelled up with water.  I guess it was due to all the IVs they have been giving him.  Because of the swelling, he weighed 205 lbs, and was unable to put on his shoes.  He has nurses coming over to the house and physical therapist every week.

Three weeks passed and the swelling has gone down and he lost 20 lbs of water.  He is now eating breakfasts in the morning, lunches and dinners which is good to see.  He has to eat more on the healthy side now because he is a diabetic.  He should had done it from day one when he found out he was a diabetic.  So I am glad that he is eating more.
