It is Sunday, and Howard came down yesterday and will be with us until Thursday.
On Thursday (8/2) Howard's hand and wrist were still swollen, so his coffee buddy took him by Kaiser emergency to have it examined. The doctors were concerned about the swelling and so he was admitted and given lots of antibiotics and TLC. Apparently a couple of foreign objects (we are guessing shards from his coffee cup from when he fell and cut his hand) were still in his hand and they were considering surgery. He spent two nights under observation, and was released on Saturday. Pat was there to get him when he was released, and Kevin came as well.
They took Howard out to lunch and then Kevin brought him down to Milpitas.
His hand is looking much better, and he has all stitches out of both his hand and his forearm. He needs to soak his hand twice per day for one week, and has antibiotics.
I (Margaret) am home all week and will be making sure he gets lots of TLC and as much coffee as he wants.
