Tuesday and Dad is admitted to Torrance Memorial

 I left the phone on and Violet called me at 6 saying that Dad is not well, she tried to get him to drink water and could not find straws and she went to the store and it was closed and she sent to Denny's to buy pancake so she can get some straws.  That woman is so good

So I text Dr Lee and he says to take dad to the ER so I went over there about 7 15 and KR helped me load dad to the van and off we went.  There was only one other person there so the admit was pretty quick.  April the first nurse we had tried to scan the bladder to see if dad had any urine, only 15 cc or so.  I went back home to pick up the FM stuff and to get food from the Y, dropped them off and then went back to pick up Violet.  She had gone home for a little rest and some food.

She was there all afternoon and evening.  

We ordered salmon but dad would not eat it.  He was agitated too and wanted to sleep.  Finally woke and we went down for a scan of the abdominal area.

The doctor called and said maybe, maybe there is prostate cancer, that had a couple of spots in the spin.  I DON"T THINK SO.  Dr Lee said his PSA was fine in December.  Then we were told that dad's kidneys are not producing urine.  Maybe his years of Celebrex use had damaged, and my daily Naprosyn didn't help.  So they gave him some IV fluid and got a little pee for analysis.

Then they admitted him and put him in room 721A, next to a guy with a broken knee?

I came home and rode my NEW BIKE WHICH I LIKE VERY MUCH.  I put the basket on and it felt so good.  

KR and I went for a walk at the Fire Road and stopped at the hospital.  We spoke with the doctor and had face timed Caroline and Warren and Mimi.  

We went home.  Violet text me and said dad pulled his IV out.  Oh man  They are going to put a 'cup on it so he cannot pull it out again.

TOMORROW SHOULD BE INTERESTING !!!!
