Newspaper editor drug started

They just started the "newspaper editor drug" (see Shanna's comment earlier). It's a 1 liter bag and takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Then there are 2 more liter bags to go (of saline solution) to flush the system....those will take about 1 hr and 15-20 minutes each. So we should be out of here by 6:30, give or take. Dad is doing well...he ate lunch and is eating some salty pretzels to encourage him to drink more water. He's been doing some work on his computer and we've played some cards. All is going well.

    Wow that is a lot of fluid. Hope you got our Dad's bladder. Never saw anyone drink so much beer and never leave the room! Glad to see you marching forward. All good vibes from down south are headed in your direction. Take care.

    Say hi to Leo and tell him we are thinking about him. That was pretty technical stuff and the drugs. I think I understood most of it, but I definitely understood the part about salty pretzels. :)

    I'm amazed they don't just get ya hooked up in the bathroom, or have the "Stadium Pal" as an option. David Sedaris loves his Stadium Pal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBdymtyXt8Y

    Dad,

    We have limited internet access here, but wanted to wish you well with the process today. And send more good vibes from down south. -- Andy
