Juanita, one of the nurses at the Rice Estate called yesterday. What she wanted to talk about was Dad's order for in-and-out catheterization, specifically with regard to its no longer being necessary. As I was FULLY in agreement, we mainly took turns saying "Exactly!" a lot. She said that they continue to scan his bladder, and though there's some urine left in there, it isn't causing him any discomfort or problem, so why worry?
Unfortunately, Juanita isn't the deciding vote and she won't be there today to talk to the doctor. But she left a firm recommendation in the notes that the order be discontinued, and recommended that I be firm about supporting the idea. I won't have any problem with that.
