Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

We went to see my dad again and his curtain was closed, my heart raced a little. Dr. Tanner (not related to the Full House Tanner Family) aka Dr. Smooth came out and talked to us. He has such a soothing voice that he can tell you "Hey your hair is on fire" and you will be so soothed by him you just say "yeaaaah" in a dreamy voice and let your hair stay on fire. He is smooth like silk not abrasive like Dr. Bones when he talks to you. He is very compassionate and talks in a low soothing voice. He told us that he was just trying to find another vein for his dialysis but he is a big guy so they cannot find a vein. The line is currently in his neck and its getting to be time to change it to another location to prevent infection. They want to move the line near the groin area. My mom asked about his kidneys but at this time he couldn't answer us because they are just still monitoring him for bleeding, he said right now we are just glad he stopped bleeding. Like I have said before they focus on one thing and the most important and fix that and then move on. Bleeding Internally tends to rank very high on the list. So yes we are thankful that he has stopped bleeding and we just want him to rest and have his body repair itself. Dr. Smooth said tomorrow they will probably try again to move his IV line for his dialysis again and do it with Interventional Radiology (IR). They will have an XRAY screen over his leg and groin and try to locate a vein by injecting it with iodine so they can see it and then they can guide the needle to that vein. He was not sure if they are going to do that just yet, but first they will try again to find a vein without doing IR.

His Nurse, Nurse Angela, was really nice and she dad has not given her any trouble and I said good, that he needs to be boring. We stayed and watched her brush his teeth, he DID NOT LIKE IT, he looked like a mad 3 year old being forced to brush his teeth, like uugh no get away from me were his expressions, we laughed. Nurse Angela said, "Hey you gotta have good breath for your ladies here!" We are glad he is slowly responding, he is not 100% but its coming back which is good. We told him his Texans FAILED but the Cowboys won. I know my dad was like "CATORCE" in his head when we told him about the Texans. My dad yells out catorce which means 14 in spanish so he won't cuss. It kind of sounds like a spanish curse word when you say it just right, go ahead and try it sometime. Yeah but today was a good day, an operation that went well and no bleeding. Tomorrow is another day. We take it day by day and cherish the good boring days. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!!!
