Day 8 in the hospital.

[WCGreen]

The leaves have turned toward away from very vivid back to just plain vivid, still, all in all a nice view...

The overcast sky fits my mood this morning. I feel well enough to go home yet I know i isn't the best thing yet. I am going to have to administer home IV bags and it kind of scares me. But I've done it before and after the first time, it's really easy.

Not much happened and that is good. Pizza actually tasted like pizza last night which to me, at least, is a sure sign I have turned the corner.

Slept through the night except for the ten or twelve time when the interns woke me up to ask how I was sleeping.

I just let that one sit.

Anyway, cleaned up for the football games, the microwaved wash rags are really a great innovation. Taking a bath in bed like they use to do just sucked.

So far nothing unusual happened except I think I can sleep and so I know I will be getting well soon...

You writing these few days of observation have really helped me get through this this time. Having my computer and being able to connect to a place where everybody knows your name is such a big help in getting over the illness hump that it should be studied.

I wonder if I could get a government grant?

Maybe I'll get that guy with all the ? on his jacket book.

1. So glad to hear you're on the mend!

I cannot imagine being in the hospital for 8 days. The most I've ever had to do was 4 or 5 when I was 13 (double pneumonia). Becausee I was so young I was pretty spoiled while I was there. Wish I was closer - I'd come visit and try to spoil you!

Hope you are much better soon!

The sense of isolation when anyone is ill can be a real downer...

Enjoy your day, and the football games!

12. Poor boo !! :hugs:

I'm glad you are on the mend. I was in the hospital earlier this year, so I remember how sucky it is. I got to watch the inauguration in my private room, which was OK since I don't have TV at home right now. But it sure was nice to get home and get out of those hospital gowns! And to be with my pup, of course.

Keep your concentration on getting better! You'll be home before you know it.

13. WCGreen...

Just so you know, I've only avoided your hospital thread because I have a little bit of a hospital phobia.
Ok, to be 100% truthful, hospitals scare the $hit out of me!



Hope you get to go home soon!!
