Quick Trip to the ER

Well it's Monday evening around 4:00pm and Ted calls me into the bedroom....."Ah, Karen we have a slight problem." Well it seems his nephrostomy sprung a leak. That is the catheter in his kidney. So we make arrangements for Nan to go and pick up Sam from Track with Kyle going and giving her directions. Nan said he did great. We get to the ER and holy cow.....the place is packed!!! Never seen it like this. So Ted puts on a mask, cause of all the little rug rats. After about 20 minutes and we havent' seen a nurse yet, (they call this triage). I decided that i'm going to the angio department to see if I can sneak him in, and skip the ER. Well, there was one person left. She says, that they would have to call the team in, and that would be probably after hours of waiting in the ER and another Hour before the Angio Team came back. If they even came in tonight. Might make us spend the night or send us home. So, I tell her to wait. Let Ted make the call as to what he wants to do. OHH Did I tell you that we Ducked taped the tubing that was leaking. Thank you god for making Duck Tape. So I find Ted in Triage and I get them to let me in and explain it to him. So the triage nurse didn't seem too annoyed but said we would have to sign a sheet saying we signed out against orders. But she agreed it would be a long wait. So we got our appoint for 7 am in the angio department and off we went back home. We went in the morning and they changed the nephrostomy out and his stent that is in his uretor. Everything seem to go smoothly. But if you ask ted it hurt like hell. He has gotton a high tolerance to the knock out medicine. They give him a boat load and he is still awake till the procedure started some. But he has been sleeping peacfully now for awhile. So a crazy day....Angio said next time just call first, they will get him in. Geeze why didn't I think of that. haha....
