The drainage procedure took place yesterday afternoon under sedation and local anesthesia, so last evening Charlie was groggy and on bed rest. The nurse says there is a lot of drainage, which is what the doctors want.
This morning, Charlie is feeling better. He ate a very large breakfast, and, when walking in the hallway, was more erect and speedier than he has been. His fever is normal. Someone from the wound care specialist team will be visiting him this morning.
The doctor came on his rounds very early this morning, so I was not able to speak with him. After his evening rounds, I will make another post.
Today's activities, for Charlie, David and me, include watching the last episode of Season 2 of the Mad Men television show in preparation for the start of Season 3 tomorrow. We have a DVD player, a flat screen TV and a Bose CD player in the room.
