What the bleep was that!

I can't decide if I'm relieved or totally pissed off.  I think it is the latter.

Recapping the day. Yvonne saw blood in her urine and we were concerned. We called the transplant team and were told to come to the ER. Blood and urine was checked and an ultrasound of the kidney was done.  All of this took the entire day.  Around 4 PM they said let's see one more urine sample to look at the color.  If that's good you can go.

Well it took nearly 2 hours after Yvonne provided that sample that a doctor looked at it and agreed it wasn't blood colored anymore.

The problem was first noted around 7 AM and we got home around 7 PM. But here's the problem....

The whole episode was avoidable if someone had explained to us yesterday what they explained today.  Namely that the cutting done in the surgery was so deep that we should expect this as well as a light red fluid escaping from the surgical incision which we also observed this morning.  We were loaded up with 50 gauze pads and told to change it every 2 hours.  Where was this information yesterday???!!???

So I'm relieved that we have no problems to deal with but man am I pissed off that we were put through this again. In 12 hours we'll be back for the scheduled follow-up with many of the same people we saw today.  Go figure.
