I'm so happy that J's going to be allowed to come home today! I can't believe the past 11 days have flown by as fast as it has.
But i didn't have time to buy him a card/flowers, so i decided to make use of a trusty ole' pair of scissors and my knowledge of the alphabet to create him a not-so-original sign...

Reuse • Recycle • RegurgitatePlans for the operation in January [i think] is going to be postponed.
Apparently, he spoke with one of the nurses last night and they were talking about the procedure. She recommends that he NOT do the operation. Soon to be 29 and relatively healthy, the condition could improve. Plus i've read that the condition is common in much older patients, when the organs don't work as well.
So slightly torn between what to do, we're going to do more research.
But like all operations, there's always a chance that something could go wrong... or? It's a decision that will eventually need to be made.
The nurse strongly suggests a second opinion and that if possible, find other Natural methods of improving the condition. It includes drinking about 3 litres of water and increasing ones' fibre intake.
So i asked J to ask the doctor for all the reports and the findings, then he can see his family doctor. Who will hopefully recommend something else instead of being sliced open.
But we'll see what the doc says.
I can't help but worry for him. I mean who wouldn't? Anybody's loved one that ends up sick or suffers will eventually affect those around them. Causing them stress and unnecessary worry. And it's usually when something bad happens or when ones' health is affected, that people in general make lifestyle changes and have a bigger appreciation for Life.
And should J have another infection, that could mean he's back in the hospital. Either way, there needs to be some serious changes to his eating plan and lifestyle. He says, he's quitting smoking [this is already his 3rd week]. He will cut down on his alcohol. Turn to exercise and perhaps cut out red meat. Reduce his stress level and consume more vegetables.
So as soon as he's out, we're heading to the supermarket. It's all about fresh home-made soups, tonnes of blended vegetables and omega-3 packed fish.
