Another day, more tests...
Spent the afternoon at Hopkin's. The staff was in less of a cheery mood now that the holidays have officially passed. I have grown to respect the docss that can translate complex medical terminology into English. Turns out that my dad will have another spinal tab and kidney biopsy tomorrow. This is actually sounds worse than it is?!@#$.
Spinal tap is done in his room and the kidney test consists of a needle. They need to test more fluid. Results take several days and this should confirm what's wrong. The steroid treatments have helped but come with side effects.
One of the more interesting aspects of hospital life is process. The whiteboard serves as a clearing house and includes docs, nurses and applications. The pecking order is interesting and people are careful not to step on ea others toes. There seems to be little mix-up considering how many times the beds are turned.
Can you tell I'm spending way to much time in hospitals?
