I assume either Sheba has some problems or they are on their way to Colorado. I wish both of them a safe journey.

I am sitting here LOL over your post. My exact sentiments. Hubby said he told one of the nurses that he needed to be at the hospital for testing. It went on deaf ears until I contacted the head nurse. I cannot say it is entirely his fault. On Saturday I heard a computer giving me the date and time. All I heard at first was 23 so I assumed it was the 23rd. I do not know why I decided to hear the recording again, but when I did, I distinctly heard it was Monday. It slid over the date and then came the year. I was able to put two and two together and tried to notify the head nurse, but his cell was not accepting voice mail. I managed to tell the receptionist when I entered the rehab yesterday, but I guess it went on deaf ears. I felt lucky that they were able to take him even though he was 45 minutes late. I will be able to be with him on Monday until they take him to surgery. At that point I will be told where the waiting room is and how to navigate to other parts of the hospital. The operation may take an hour and that’s because the urology has that room for that time period. I hope and pray that everything works out for him and the catheter will be a thing of the past. Thanks again for your post. You made my day. Now to get going and to stop for gas. I’m doing a dance right now. Gas is $2.89/gal. Last time I filled up it was $3.23. What a difference two weeks make.

You need to start collecting a salary for running the rehab facility. They should be thanking you for all you do, geez Louise!! So happy your husband got through all the tests.😊 Will continue praying through next week that all goes well.🙏 Sure hope the rehab will be history real soon.

Hi Sheba, TACI and Shoelady. I am home. What a morning. I arrived at the hospital about 7:15 am and completed some paperwork prior. Hubby was not there at the time. 7:30 rolled in and still no sign of hubby. 7:45 and where is he??? So I made a call to the head nurse/unit mgr. I explained that I tried to reach him on Saturday but his phone was not accepting voice mail. Guess he wanted a weekend to himself and family. So today I reached him He was in shock since he had a different day. You really needed to hear the coice mail several times before your realize that it is not on the 23rd, but the 20th. Hubby showed up about 45 minutes late, and they took him at that time. From that point on there were no problems. I did contact the head nurse again to say hubby was ready. I will receive call Friday for the time he needs to be at the hospital. Unfortunately the staff could not change our phone to the one in Rehab.

@taci

I just saw your sweet note. Thank you. I will post when I have a chance to let everyone know the outcome. I did see hubby tonight and the itches seem to be gone. YEAH.. The sheets on his bed not only smelled clean, they were soft. I had to remake the bed so that he could warm up from the frosty A/C. I did bring him a few slices of pizza from the ones that were delivered last night. He loved them. Afterwards he had a yen for a chocolate cookie. They were gone and I promised to pick up some tomorrow when I make a stop at Costco. Again, thank you for thinking of us.

breathtaking!

Sheba, Yes, we all know this thread takes time and effort and you do it wonderfully. I think we all know that person who has to be mean or negative. Even when we try to ignore them and know they are cra cra, it can still hurt.

Hike today was nice as it dried out a bit and no critters.

Thanksgiving is coming up fast. Hope you have a great one with your family.

Sheba, This is sad news.
