For the past 2 years,
Jim has had some kind of appendage sticking out of his chest, belly or back.
December or 2012 he
had his PD catheter placed in his belly. When that was removed March of 2014 he
was then given a hemo dialysis port in the left side of his chest. When blood
drawers became difficult he was given a Hohn catheter in the right side of his
chest. When he came home from the transplant he had a drain coming out of his
back.
As of last Thursday,
he is officially free of any devices dangling from his body. Both the dialysis
catheter and the Hohn catheter were removed.
What exactly does
this mean....it means that he can now sleep on his belly, shower without taping
plastic bags on the ports, no more dressing changes and no more bulges coming
from his shirts.
Just another exciting
step in the miracle of getting Joe. What else can we say but....Free at Last!!
