CT Results, Another Test

It is incredibly miserably outrageously cold here. Nine below zero cold. Before windchill.

Even my inside window perch in Kevin's room is cold. I'm glad we don't have to be outside today.
The CT scan showed no kinks, twists or other gymnastics within. Something is going on, though, at the surgical site (anastomosis is the technical term for that area) in his colon.

Not exactly a surprise.

So a sigmoidoscopy has been ordered to tell us what's happening. The surgeon says surgery is still likely.

Overall, though, Kevin feels much better this morning even without pain medication.

There's yet ANOTHER hospitalist on shift who is hung up with some irritation showing up in Kevin's esophagus. He wants to order an endoscopy.

Bitch Lorri is going to have to intervene here. The man vomited non-stop for 5 days and he has a naso-gastric tube crammed down his throat.

Of course his esophagus is irritated. And now I'm irritated as well.
