2 down – 3 to go!!

It was an uneventful day – just the way that I want it! For the first time my wife did not come to the hospital but that was understandable with the bad weather that had been forecast and the snow that we already have on the ground. I just spoke to her on the phone and there is about 6” on the ground and it’s supposed to snow until midnight.

I have a new room mate - a man who was in ICU. News break! They are moving him again! They say that because of his state of health, he needs a private room. This just adds to my observation since I’ve been here. I happen to sit right by the door to the room and I watch patients walk by during the day and I observe their condition and I say to myself, “These people are sick – so why am I here?” I am still feeling fine – suffering no side effects from the chemo.

So after commenting on the midnight vitals visit Wednesday night, I got the nurse to agree to have them come in at 10:00. And sure enough at 10:00 someone came in to take my vitals. And sure enough…..someone came in at midnight to take my vitals as well. I guess that I have to be more specific!
