Just a quick update. I am under home hospice care and the director is a friend of mine from way back. She asked me if I ever needed hospice that I go with her group because she wants to take care of me. I am having good days, such as this one so far, and bad days with pain, such as two nights ago when my back had me in agony so I couldn't sleep and I called my friend at midnight. She told me to take another hydromorphone even though I had one two hours earlier, but did that second one ever knock me clean out when it took effect. My pain level was a 6 or 7 out 10 that night and I seriously said to God, "If you want to call me home tonight, I'll come a'running to the light."
I have three drains in my abdomen now, two are for my liver and one to drain fluid build up from my belly area. The drain was placed Monday for my stomach and they drained 4.5 liters from the area. My nurse friend took a liter out of me two days after that and will continue to tend that every three days. I'm feeling hungry and my pastor is coming to bring me Communion in an hour, so I had better get with things here.
