dr. elias pulled out a three inch blade to cut craig's saran wrap after his shower. good for street fights during his lunch break, i suppose.
in other news, he ordered another x-ray of craig's abdomen yesterday in order to identify gas patterns. this was before they scrapped the idea of putting a gastro tube in his stomach (the NG tube lasted about 20 minutes...craig's not a fan and truly believes the nurse was trying to break his nose). before dr. elias left craig's room, he suggested that craig wait to get the x-ray until he felt sick in order for them to capture gas patterns just before he vomits. craig was feeling pretty tip-top at the point, so we suggested he quickly chug some water -- by now, a well known trigger. dr. elias cracked up and seemed a bit sheepish from laughing at his patient...craig not so amused. tough crowd, tough crowd. anyway, we haven't heard anything re: the x-ray, so looks like yet another wasted scan of his belly. i'm sure there's an x-ray heaven with loads and loads of unwanted x-rays.
yesterday was a good day by all standards. we ended it with a tough game of Uno where we all won one a game apiece. looking forward to taking the game to the street once he's discharged tomorrow. will be nice to get outta this joint. -- Jill
