Day 17, AYAT would have been Day 17. I was doing better and they were going to remove the epidural. The anesthesiologist came in and said he was going to do it. So, they turn me around and he just pulls it out quickly. It was over in a millisecond. He said I didn't need anything on it and I just asked kindly, if he could sterilize it with the alcohol wipe. I said "Could we please clean it and put a bandaid on it for a couple of days since I have been dealing with a massive infection." His eyes kinda lit up and said "Oh yes, we can." So he cleaned it and put a bandaid on it. He then offered to take the bandage off of my neck that had covered the catheter that they used for dialysis. It was a good day.

Today I read some more notes on my initial surgery after watching a little bit of the Resident, which I cannot recommend either right now. All I can say is: Way too soon to be watching a drama like this. Decided to learn a few new languages! Oh that Pooh! I just love a man in a suit!
