The Physical Therapist and the Nurse from Home Health Care just came. They are both pleased with her progress. Although Sally doesn't feel like she's making much progress, we can all see the improvement.
We will see Dr. Newton on Monday, the 12th and Dr. Jiminez on Tuesday, the 13th. Dr. Jiminez says that, based on Sally's progress, he will probably get a little more aggressive on the stones remaining in the kidney. We're all hoping the next step could be as early as later this month. As previously mentioned. he will consider "blasting" these stones using sound waves. It might take more than one procedure to get them all.
Sally's just thrilled to have the drain bag removed so there's no more emptying of that or wearing it strapped to her leg.
Right now, she's resting with her feet raised. She's having more swelling in her legs, ankles and feet than we would like.
