Granny's gone and done it again

Well that’s rude.

When Ford repaired our car, they drove us to the store and had a Uber pick us up. We waited outside the store in a shopping center while the Uber waited in a parking lot. They texted us the make and model of the vehicle and I flagged him but by then he said he now has someone else to pick up so he left and we had to wait for another driver

who would you call to get one?

It’s an app

Around here there is only one uber driver. DH got him one time when he needed a ride home from the hospital. He wanted DH to pay the gas because it was pretty far. DH didn't have cash for gas or tip. Now he won't drive for us anymore. I was at home in bed

That’s really weird. Are they supposed to ask for cash? We have tons of drivers here

Wonderful news! How is he feeling?

He had a pretty good day. Ate without choking which is an improvement and has been able to lengthen the time between pain meds from 4 to 6 hours. He is able to move his head better and is walking around the house with the walker for balance. He still has the brain fog from the anesthesia but it takes time to go away. He starts PT next week. He really wants to get outside!

I paid for him online but forgot about tip. He shouldn't have asked DH to pay for the gas. Those were the only times I used Uber. The second time I tried to get him to being DH home from the hospital, he accepted the job and I paid. A little while late he cancelled and it went till the next day to get my money back so I didn't have money to get another cab. So he had to wait till I could come for him

I don't know ileoscopy? Is it in the intestines or?

The site of a colostomy or an ileostomy depends on the part of the intestine that is affected. The different types of colostomies are named based on where they are in the colon.

• A sigmoid colostomy is in the sigmoid colon, which is the part of the colon that connects to the rectum. A sigmoid colostomy is the most common type of colostomy.
• A descending colostomy is in the descending colon, which is the part of the colon that goes down the left side of the abdomen.
• A transverse colostomy is in the transverse colon, which is the part of the colon that goes across the upper abdomen.
• An ascending colostomy is in the ascending colon, which is the first part of the colon. It starts at the
  cecum
  and goes up the right side of the abdomen. An ascending colostomy is not commonly done because doctors prefer to do an ileostomy.
• An ileostomy is in the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine.

Sounds like our Larry. Wanting to be Outside. Glad you're there to keep him where he belongs for a while. Maybe a short walk out there in a few days.

He had an ileoscopy& endoscopy on Monday to dilate the strictures. He had some areas u that were nearly closed, the worst area right behind the stoma. So he's having a lot of pain. The Dr said it should get better by 2 weeks

Does the endoscopy help with his throat? That's what I had stretched years ago. Need it again.
Or was his Endoscopy for lower?

The endoscopy was upper and ileoscopy was lower

It's been a long hard day! I'm headed to bed. See you tomorrow, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
