I brought Randy home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. The first thing he wanted was to go and take a shower! He is on light activity (no lifting of anything over 10 pounds) so that means no picking up Grayson or the cats (those fat cats!) or groceries or stuff like that. I reminded him that pushing and pulling heavy objects would not be good either, case in point: the lawnmower. He is supposed to stay out of the heat, at least until he sees the gastro-enterologist again on Thursday. I insisted that he stay home to continue resting today. I would rather he take it slow than overdo and have to go back to the hospital again. He agreed with me on that at least.
They put him on a low residue/low fiber diet. There are many items on the list that he loves to eat. Hopefully this is only until the doctor sees him again on Thursday. He can't have carbonated drinks...for those of you that know him well, you will understand how difficult that is for him! He has had to drink tea in the mornings to get his caffeine fix. It is funny because his regular doc had told him to cut down on carbs like pasta and breads, and here he is being limited to many of those things. We haven't had white bread in our house since...well, ever.
Things are good now that he is home. At least I can sleep again.
