Dad had what's becoming a typical day today. Physio to work on his shoulder range of motion and his foot/walking, dialysis which took way longer than it should have due to clotting, trying some new meds to fight the nausea, and the usual bandage changes and visit from Dr. Chang (the wonderful plastic surgeon).
They have started adding iron to the blood during dialysis, which will hopefully help his hemoglobin to stay up.
On Friday they will take him to the OR to move the dialysis port to his neck/chest, which is supposed to not clot as much and be safer as far as risk of infection.
A nurse who was working when Dad was moved upstairs last week thinks he has improved a lot since then, so even though he isn't feeling like he's progressing, we think he is.
