Dr. Weiner for a plumbing problem? Really?
:9f:
He's one of the best pediatric urologists in the country. We dated at Duke. He is a very dear friend.

I get it. I agree too. Others should feel the same. You are not alone.

Yup. Really. And that's just how he pronounces his name - Weener. :D

Ruthie was taken to her room about 7:45 and we went with them. She is groggy from the anesthesia and pain meds but wanted to get up and go home; not gonna happen obviously. I stayed for a few minutes, had dinner with Mrs. Ozzie in the hospital cafeteria, and then drove home. She's staying up there, as are Ruthie's parents, one of which (OzzieDaughter) will sleep in her room, the other (S.I.L.), along with Mrs. Ozzie, on a couple of couches in the waiting room down the hall. I'll go back up Wednesday midday unless they tell me in the morning they're coming home in the afternoon, which they probably won't know.

Thanks to everyone for the powerful vibes and prayers. I certainly appreciate them, even if Ruthie doesn't know about them. B-) :duke:

Oops: misspelling! I should have typed "Wiener." I know better.

John is so wonderful. Give him a huge hug from me! He helped my BFF's husband get a referral for his prostate cancer at Duke. His assistance has been life-giving to my dear friends.

Go to my FB pics. There is an album dedicated to something he said to my BFF and me, "Are y'all still roommates?" There are pics of him and me at the Duke v. UAB basketball game back in January 2011.

From this morning's FB post
Ruth (and we) slept better last night. The doctor has given the go ahead to leave today, but I think it'll be later on because she's still not eating and drinking much. They've turned the IV down to make her more thirsty, so we'll see. She is ready to go home and not have people in scrubs come in ever hour to make her do something, swallow something, or touch something.
Quiet house syndrome should end later today! :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue:
