I'm sitting beside Stu again while he picks his nose--he can get his finger in up to the second knuckle. It is getting disgusting. He just says "sorry" when I tell him to stop picking. After he was done with the "cornflakes", my sister brought him breakfast from Chick-fil-A, including the chocolate milkshake he requested. What a lucky guy.
The dreaded catheter is back in his bladder. Stu couldn't quite "empty" last night, and had to have it threaded back in. For all of you guys who don't know where a catheter goes, well, it just follows the stream of urine right up to the bladder. You don't get a general anesthetic to have it inserted, and you don't get any local anesthesia either. :)w
Stu has more physical therapy and occupational therapy today. Otherwise it should be a quite day. Depending on how his therapy goes over the weekend, he will either be home on Monday or admitted to in-patient rehab here at Mayo.

Way to go Stu!! Recovery is the hardest part of ironman. Try not to overtrain and get lots of carbs!!
ReplyDeleteMayo must not be feeding you enough food. Cornflakes and then Chick fil-A and you are still hungry! Keep up the great work and hopefully you'll be home soon.
ReplyDeleteLots of Love,
