The tubes are plugged up and wrapped up, but where they go under my skin can't get wet. That area is also covered, but I can't take the chance. I have a hand-held attachment on my shower, so I can spray the rest of me, from my chest down. Eventually, they'll put an entry under my skin in my wrist, then the tubes can come out. A kidney trnasplant is in the future, but as that involves someone dying, refuse to think about it. My swollen feet are down to normal size now. The extra wide slippers that I bought to accomodate them are too big, and today, while coming down stairs, I actually stepped out of them. My appetite is back, too. I think I'll go and celebrate at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.
