There will be bumps in the road

Yvonne looked and sounded great this afternoon.  I stepped out to pickup a sandwich and returned 15 minutes later to find 2 nurses around the bed arranging blankets and discussing a fever.

Damn it changes fast.

The fever is 101,4 and it just "appeared".  I think it is a common side effect of the drug being used to lower her immune system.  But really it could be from any other cause as well.

The afternoon was pleasant.  Another dialysis nurse named Rocky (not to be confused with a certain Siamese cat with the same name) came to say hello. Yvonne's dear friend Millie dropped in and so did Cousin Kathy!

This is the first time the Kidney Sisters were together other than a very brief wave as Kathy was leaving Recovery.  I took a photo in their matching hospital gowns to remember but I think I will get treated badly if I post it anywhere.
