Thanks Zimmy and Snow...it's gonna' be a rough one for awhile yet. Her "5 to 10 days" in the hospital is rapidly expanding...the decision on surgery got postponed "for awhile."

Evidently 3 specialists (a urologist, a colo-rectal surgeon, and an internist) have agreed that, in medical terms "it's a confused mess in there." Until they can see what's going on, they hesitate to make a decision....partly because she isn't very strong, so they'd rather avoid surgery if they can.

For some reason to be determined, one of her kidneys is significantly enlarged and the tube leading to it (no clue of the techinical term) is 100% blocked and non-functional. There may be a tumor. They know there is at least one major fistula but believe there might be more. It's a mess.

In other news, Scoote and I decided that we need to do something about our ever-expanding middles....and I ordered a Mobia by Nautilus. Can't wait until it gets here!

Hope you're all having a good day!
