Keep the fulids going

Well Dave is getting his third liter of fluid this morning.  After the second one yesterday the blood test indicated the kidney function levels were still too high.  All the fluid should start cleaning out his system. Now he called to say that they are going to do a MRI to see if there is a reason his body is unable to flush out the toxins .             It is now Saturday morning.  Yesterday was a rough day.  For the MRI Dave had to lay on his back with a strap across his chest. He had to stop once because of pain in his side.  Tried again after adjusting the strap.  It  became just too much pain and he had to stop. Knowing the pain would stop if he lay on his side or stood up made it frustrating.  I don't know what bothered him more, the pain or quitting.  He kept muttering I finish things, I don't quit.  Knowing he had to face it again even with a handful of pain pills did not make an easy night.  Off he goes for more fluid which always makes him cold.  Then the dreaded MRI.
