Kidney problems are not fun, I speak from experience. Now that he’s home he’s going to feel even better, even faster. So good to hear the news. ---

Came in late on this - been too busy to Dope the past few days - but glad he’s home. That must’ve been seriously scary. How’s he feeling? ---

Much better. Which is not to say fully recovered but clearly on his way. He’s been putting around the house in between naps, taking his medicine, and watching Netflix, which is probably what he should be doing at this point. ---

Just saw this (I’ve been swamped at work, behind on everything “fun”) - so glad to hear he’s home again. I’ve always said a hospital is no place to be when you’re sick ;). I hope you’re able to get the insurance company to rethink their attitude on catheters. Point the discrepancy in what they’re willing to pay, vs. what they _did_ pay. Yeah, he could still get a UTI even with a new sterile cath, but it’s a whole lot less likely.
