Sorry for the lack of updates but Hurricane Sandy has taken over my life. Not in a material way... We never lost power, TV, Internet, running water, etc... Plenty of food.
But we have become TV junkies watching non-stop storm coverage since Monday. Every once in a while I ventured out to see for myself. This gave me an excuse to dig out some foul weather gear that I haven't seen in decades. Tall rubber boots, rain pants, jacket w/hood.... Armed with a waterproof camera I headed toward the river (at low tide) to see what I could see. Another walk took me to Times Square to hang with the tourists with useless Broadway tickets.
Power went out across the street (39th St) and south. So we are lucky to be on the north side of this divide. last night I walked up to a bar on 47th Street and it was business as usual. Quite a different scene compared to other parts of NYC.
So how is Yvonne you ask.... Well I ended the prior post saying if there was anything in the lab tests we'd get a call. We got that call.
UTI#1 had indeed arrived. They called in an antibiotic and Yvonne started taking them and presumably it is gone by now. She feels great.
A doctor appointment and a clinic visit were cancelled because of teh storm but neither was critical so they will happen as soon as they can happen.
One thing we talked about at length was how different this might have been if Yvonne was still on dialysis. Braving the storm for a few photos is one thing but getting to and from a hospital over a mile away might have been a real challenge and would the dialysis unit be operating as usual??
So so lucky....
