Prayers and positive thoughts continue for Master Ubar and his woobie.

(kiah misses you Master Ubar ~ this week she got all freaky after being put on a big scary antibiotic with instructions to go to the ER if things got worse in 24 hours (they haven't). she misses being able to go to you and have you matter of factly say you've been on it, it's no big deal, just follow instructions etc. ~all the things she knows or should know but still gets all worried until you just be you and your simple words somehow anchor her back to the ground. Master Ubar may think that those times were no big deals but they helped kiah greatly and she thanks you)

I drove up to Cleveland yesterday and spent the day with Scott. We also had a "care conference" to talk about his progress. He is still not ready to be allowed home yet, but he continues to make progress. He gets stronger every day and remains determined. As far as the dialysis goes, the doctor says his kidney output function is doing great.. the filtering function, not so much. It is steadily improving but going very slowly. There will be dialysis until that function is back to normal. However long that takes is up to God. He just wants to get strong enough to be allowed to come home. There is a kidney place here in town where he could be transferred to from the Cleveland Clinic doctor but he has to be physically able to be home alone to get that. So he gets to keep working out with the therapists. While he was in therapy, I went in search of real food for him. I found spaghetti and garlic bread at a little Italian take out... Real Italian take out. Sauce on the spaghetti like I make from scratch. Fresh baked, on site bread.. Enough to last him a couple days. LOL..I even brought him back a copy of their menu so he could think  about what he could get on Wednesday and take his mind off the dogpoop they serve at the home on a daily basis.  During the care conference, they expressed a bit of concern over his weight loss. I flat out told them that if they would actually serve him what he had chosen on the menus, he might eat. That sending him green vegetables was a waste, since on the coumadin, he can't have them. Sending him noodles without any kind of moisture (butter,sauce, oil, water) that are so plain and dried out you can pick them up in one hand and fling it at the trash can..stupid. When he asks for two glasses of tea, sending him the sweetner but NOT any tea was ignorant. He eats what I bring him.. I am not there every day.

They don't care for tactless, plainspoken answers from woobies. Nope. Administrators don't like blunt . lol..

Oh well.. I will take him more food and jugs of juice on Wed. I will take clean clothes I have washed and bring home dirty clothes. I will pick up the dropped balls and he will keep working on getting better.

thank you all for the continued prayers
love, woobie

I am so glad he is going better woobie.  And sounds like you have your hands full with the place he's in as well.  Best wishes and much much love to you both!

Its all one day at a time one step at a time.   Progress is progress no matter how small.   He will get there.. he's too stubborn to quit.  which is a damn good thing.

Master Ubar and his woobie remain constant in my prayers. thank you for the updates. I can't wait to hear when he's released from "prison" and i'm proud of Master Ubar for making the most of his time he has to be there. woobie you are doing beyond great. i'm so glad you are there for him and him for you.

Woohoo.  Even though his kidneys aren't doing their best, at least when he can walk and perform his physical therapy he can go home and get dialysis in town!  I am glad to hear he is doing better (though not as fast as he would like).  You both are still very much in our thoughts and prayers everyday!

[razz|n.o.i.r]

hopefully the fear of me calling again to ramble at him, will add to his want to finally make it home.............just to make it stop! haha

glad hes improved. I'll keep praying though.

*S*  It sounds better and better each post you send us, woobie, Rags is getting healthier each time you see him.  Aye, pasta is good to help gain some weight, and also a great comfort food...right up there with fried chicken.  I know that he is facing his biggest challenge in the next few weeks...and that is how to eat hospital food and put up with administrators, and to keep from letting boredom send him into a coma...*S*...I had a recent hospitalization...and my most exciting moment was when I called my husband, and said..."They are releasing me after lunch...Please come get me before lunch and bring me a Quiznos prime rib sammich."

My prayers are continuing for the two of you, and I pray that he will return soon to your side.  It is no wonder that he is with you...you support him so much, and are not afraid to speak your mind to him, and to others...I am sure that the 'Outsiders' have no idea of the dynamics of what is going on.

Watching TV from a hospital bed is no fun, reading books helps, and movies on a laptop.  But, walking around, looking at the artwork on the walls while towing an IV hanger is more fun.  It really tells the staff that 'this one' will make it...I especially let my butt show under those awful gowns...the nurses would come up and tie my gown down.  It is a great sign that Rags is walking as much as he can...*G*...Mayhaps he can tease them by leaving the back of his gown open...

*Hugs*  You know you can contact me in this site...I am still a member.

Oh, please tell Rags that Donar Bloodaxe and Jonas the Red specifically send Rags their sincere best wishes and Nordic prayers...They both are praying for him, but one of them called Rags a 'Meathead', but I forget which one...or maybe it was both...*G*...When Rags is well again, he should confront them...There should be raids, and fights, and the FW and bonds will be running in all directions...screaming in terror...I do that very well...

Thank you woobie...The prayers continue...

*Hugs*

I made sure to tell him today that the other old farts are calling him a Meathead, Medi..He laughed so hard! Today when I got there, he had thrown his lunch back at the kitchen workers because it was wrong again. Every day it has not been what he ordered for a single meal since he got there and he is tired of playing nice..LOL His "wing nurses" held the double doors to the kitchen open for him to get a clear shot.  I would have loved to have seen it, but I arrived shortly after lunch had been served.  and returned.... LOL.. I went down the street to the grocery w/ a deli and got him some ribs and macaroni salad. We again explained to the facility administrator that it is pointless to pass out menus to people to choose their meals when in 3 plus weeks they haven't paid attention to what is chosen, even when the head nutritionist had signed off on them. They got dinner almost right. He was only missing one iced tea.

He can't access this wall there because they block adult sites. I copied this thread through page 13 so he could read that far. Monday I will take him more. He will write a post for y'all after he has had a couple days to absorb all he read. He laughed, he teared up, he felt your love, he is humbled at how much love there is.  He feels like he lost some memory, some brain functions, but he is hellbent determined to keep getting better. He can do two sets of steps, 3 up and 3 down! He can walk 30 feet with no support. He works the bicycle about a half mile. he works with 5 pound weights with each arm. Every day he watches the other residents and knows he cannot stay there. He wants to come home so bad. And I have to say that reading 13 pages of this thread reinforced that for him immensely. It fed his determination to get    rehabbed. It is funny how you can tell someone that there are a LOT of people waiting for them to finish a marathon race, but they start to tire at mile 24 until they start seeing the crowd at the finish line. Plus, because I kept y'all posted on so much, he can see how he progressed. He is quite pleased with himself now that he broke the restraints they first put on him and asked me what they did then and when I told him they switched from the lightweight velcro restraints to leather belt like ones 2 inches wide and chained to the bed with little padlocks on the buckles he roared with laughter. When he read where everyone was going to help me round up weapons and go killing, he was proud!!  We had a good visit and he got inspired more to keep working on rehab. And he is already counting the hours before i can come back.

Thank you all for your continuing prayers and all your love

i'm with Master Ubar, smiling and welling up, as I read all of the posts. I too can't wait until he gets out of there. with so many choices made for them throughout the day, why can't they understand how important it is to give them what they asked for? and don't get me started on professionalism and pride. Both of you are doing such a wonderful job, finding strength in eachother and keep moving towards Master Ubar's homecoming. may the hours apart pass quickly and may the precious moments together, make time stand still.....kiah
