John and I had a wonderful, relaxing Sunday!
We went outside to the courtyard again and had lunch. John ate a chicken salad sandwich and Doritos. His doctor told him this morning that at this point he is not concerned about “heart healthy food”. He said that will come later, but for right now food is medicine for John, and he wants John to eat a lot and whatever he wants. We haven’t gotten to eating a lot yet. John still doesn’t have a big appetite, and my nagging him to eat probably doesn’t help!
Later in the day we had a few visitors which was so nice! John’s boss and his family came to visit us, and some dear friends from church came to visit. It was great to see them, and it was great for John to see people who care about him and support him.
Tomorrow is a huge day! We are working on possibly going home by the end of the week, but there are still a few mysterious unknowns that the doctors are watching, so we have to get those taken care of first. This is John’s day tomorrow: an echocardiogram, dialysis, his 2nd heart biopsy, a right heart catheterization, and a meeting with the pharmacist for education about the meds he’ll take at home. Whew! I told him to get a good night sleep!
