OK. The catheter stopped working all together. So, Rory went back into surgery AGAIN. This time, there is no catheter in his chest. It is in (hold your breath)... his groin. It is threaded all the way up to his inferior vena cava (the largest vein in the human body). So far, it is working very well. With the other catheter in his chest gone, his health improved radically overnight. Of course, the renal failure and diabetes are still there, but he actually feels "well" lately, even if his dialysis catheter is in a wierd space. Now, yes, he is running out of options for dialysis... if this clots off in the vena cava (or more than likely WHEN), then he may not have any other means of dialysis. Sober thought.

Still looking for another house... I hate moving.
