Subject: RE: BS: My Wife's Having Brain Surgery 5 Sept
Well, I thought I update this a bit.

We went to Indiana (Chicago orbit) on the 17th and returned on the 29th. Pat had no real problems (besides headaches) except for a Little Hitler TSA agent when we left and she inadvertently started to lose her balance and the TSA people went nuts thinking that they'd now harmed someone with a handicap AND was a senior citizen AND was lawyer.

But while she was at a meeting in a very small Indiana town (Shipsewana for those In The Quilting Know) her nephrologist's office called her cell phone. Based on a urinanalyis she'd had just before we'd left her UTI was back, or rather, still around. She got five days of cephalexine and saw her nephrologist today. He ordered another urine test and told her that it was his professional opinion (and he's very, very good) that the UTI is systemtic.

She'll need IM shots of (6R,7R)-7-{[(2Z)-2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)->2-(methoxyimino)acetyl]amino}-3-{[(2-methyl-5,6-dioxo-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)thio]methyl}-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid or, a bit more simply, rocephin.

We are both getting horribly sick of this whole thing!
