The View From John's Room

This is where the University of Washington Huskies play football. We just can't quite see the field. Apparently, there will be a game tomorrow so there will be lots of traffic. It won't bother me because I am here long before the game starts and go home long after it is finished.

During the football game the lake fills with boats. I will try to get a picture tomorrow. I don't know what they are doing there. They can't possibly see the field! I think they just like to come and show off and party.

It is a nice view.

John is on day two of dialysis. He will have it again tomorrow and then have a day off on Sunday and then back at it on Monday. We are not sure when they plan to discharge him. They did say that not until his tachrolimus levels are stable. They will not be putting in the peritoneum line next Friday because his white counts are going down and do not want to risk infection. (this is normal and a part of the transplant) That procedure will have to wait until his counts go up again. He is feeling somewhat better today and has started eating a little bit.

I did my grocery shopping at the online Safeway store. They will be delivered on Monday. I think I could learn to love that. I hate grocery shopping. Think about it, a person can shop and watch T.V. all at the same time. Hee hee.

John is watching the Food Network. His nurse commented that many of the patients watch that even though they have mucositis and are nauseated and not eating. I have always found this habit of his strange but am comforted by the fact that he is not alone in his odd behavior.

I did another post today that follows this one. It is for brave and non squeamish people only. I don't want to traumatize anybody.
