today was a really good day.  my temperature was near normal the whole day.

the surgeon stopped by early this morning to check on me.  we reconfirmed that we wait on the culture results and how the fluid is draining before we make a decision on the next step.

i was able to spend a good part of the day walking the halls, entertaining the staff.  in the afternoon, i was liberated from my iv for four hours until the next antibiotic treatment.  no more iv fluids to overtax my beat up bladder.

i should know more about what is next when i see the surgeon tomorrow.  he  was here at seven today and around eleven a couple of days ago.  it appears his schedule is anything but routine.

more when i know it.
