Room 4307. Haven't we been here before?

Crochety is still in the hospital but they moved him back to the Telemetry floor and now he is back on a heart monitor. We don't know why yet. Maybe just a precaution. All he is lamenting is how he is being pried away from the prettiest nurses.

He has been nauseous and dry heaving for the past 2 days, for which he is getting shots to calm his stomach. His para-thyroid gland is acting up and producing too much calcium. It is like a vicious cycle, no? All the doctors agree that if he pushed himself to move more and get the circulation pumping he would be on the road to recovery...

His new phone is 732-321-7383.

We are wishing you a great Superbowl day! Maybe he needs a couple of beers to set him up right. I will be snacking and cheering next to his hospital bed...oh goody...

Crochety is still going with the Colts, but I am sure it will be the SAINTS!

new room...old friends

They moved him down a floor, room 3221.

His phone is now 732-321-7214.

Crochety sat in a chair today for an hour. It took 4 little nurses to move him in and out of bed. Don't know if it was good or bad that they recognized him and updated him on what was new with them.

They will most likely be sending him on to the old rehab facility for p/t very soon.

From ICU to Telemetry

Thank goodness the blood pressure has stabilized! Phew!

Crochety is still in tremendous pain, but trying to hold off the pain meds...when they moved him to his new room, they didn't transfer all his med orders and he didn't get a sleeping pill as he requested so he was up all night. This should be the least of his problems!

Now in room 4305.

Phone is 732-321-7384.

HANGING IN @ JFK

Thank you all for the good thoughts and prayers!

Joe got through the leg vein bypass on Friday afternoon, but is still in ICU because his blood pressure cannot be stabilized. If he takes the pain meds (LOTS OF DISCOMFORT SO YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS THINKING) he needs a medication that constricts his blood vessels which is detrimental to his leg blood flow.

As soon as he gets a phone again, I will give you the new number!

You are all such a blessing!

THOUGHT HE'D BE HOME BY NOW...

Since Crochety's team of doctors have now decided his circulation is not close enough to what it should be, they are going to do the approx. 4-hour leg vein bypass operation tomorrow.

This is serious, so send ALL good thoughts and prayers. Thanks for all your past kindnesses...

So far, So good

Crochety got through yesterday's angioplasty with a big "YES" from Doc Wong. The decision was made to do this first because the bypass will take approx. 4 hours. For this part he didn't have to go under anesthesia, just had local. Doc thinks circulation to the foot has been improved so much that Crochety may not have to have the leg vein bypass. He debrided the wound on the his heel and if that improves over the next few days, Crochety will have gotten yet another miracle!

He was moved to room 2519 and his new phone is 732-321-7148.

Oh, Crochety says "Go Jets!"...EX Mrs. C says, "Go Saints!"...
