Second Post-op visit

Dan had a follow up appointment this morning. Dr. Wolf said he is doing well, even though his creatanine was a bit higher than last Friday. Creatanine measures the waste in the body, so it is a very important number in the lab reports. Not to worry, said Dr. Wolf, they expect that it will fluctuate a bit.

One of the most important things he needs to do now (besides taking his meds on time) is drink lots of water. Dr. Wolf said that if Dan drinks coffee, he needs to add to his water consumption. So instead of 64 oz he will have to drink 74 oz plus...
Well, he has to keep that kidney working and hydrated!

We re-opened the restaurant yesterday, so I will not be at home with Dan. For now his sister Leah is here from California and next week he should be fine by himself.
He will also feel like having more visitors which will break the monotony. It's great to know that all is well!!!
