Addendum: After re-examining with Dr. 1223 to compare with yesterday’s exam, tissues appeared to have slightly more protrusion. Attempted to replace with 50% dextrose solution and lubrication. ACO was unsure if patient had been urinating throughout the day. Due to frequent coughing, difficult to palpate a soft abdomen, however no enlarged bladder could be detected. Patient appeared to be dribbling urine. Flushed tissues thoroughly with dextrose solution and attempted to replace although much resistance was given and tissues slowly returned to abnormal positioning. Suspect complete prolapse at this point. Patient appeared unbothered with treatment. Padded cage thoroughly and will continue to monitor. Will send Plea again.
