Since he's (1) been diagnosed with C. Diff., and (2) needs the IV to replace the prodigious amount of fluids that his new kidney wants (the equivalent of 10 bottles of water a day), we will probably here until Friday or Saturday. He's resting semi-comfortably, and trying out the new chess computer ("ChessUp") that he got in the mail. You can play him on the internet, and the moves are indicated on his physical board.
He was here three nights last week, and 5 nights this week. He needs 10 stamps on his patient loyalty card to redeem it for valuable prizes (not really, but go with me here). I immediately think of the Brady Bunch episode where the boys and girls couldn't decide what to do with their full books of Green Stamps. The boys wanted a row boat and the girls wanted a sewing machine. They settled the dispute by competing to build a house of cards, until Tiger (the dog) ruined it. They ended up compromising on a color TV.
If you're the kind of person who needs a summary:
Imagine attempting to live a normal life when this kind of conversation occurs in your head on an hourly basis. On the other hand, I survived in law school through prudent use of the Subway punch card (ah - sweet memories of double-punch Sundays).

Ha. I’m a total sucker for punch cards. I use one toward “free” coffee ☕️ whenever I’m in Brooklyn.
Good to hear that y’all will be out of there by this weekend!! Good wishes flushing that nasty bug 🐜 out asap! Hugs and prayers.
