Day Four in the Hospital

The day started with Mark and Gene, the night nurse and CNA coming in to wake me.  Two more caring men I've never known - outside of my family. They remind me of the men at LSPC - so willing and helpful.  Mark actually looks like a nurse because he wears a white jacket and slacks. 

Then came the lady with the beverage cart.  She had an accent and I had to ask her what accent it was because accents fascinate me.  She told me she is from Great Britain and when I told her she sounded like the Queen Mum, she was thrilled. 

The nurses today have been Lynn and Heather but for some reason Mary was called into work in place of Lynn.  Heather and Erica are both studying to be nurses and will be great.  They have all been very nice and helpful.  Heather played basketball in high school.  She is tall and slender.  She threw a paper towel across the room into the waste basket and I said, "two points". 

Then the doctor came in and told me after two days here on liquids, I can finally have food.  Not real food, but better than liquids.  He also said my bloodwork was normal and I can probably go home Monday. 

A young man named Tom, who is a physical therapist, is helping me.  He put me through some exercises.  I told him I hoped I get home in time to see the Rays play the Yankees because I missed the sweep of the Orioles.  This didn't set too well with him because he's from Baltimore. 

Veronica drove up with her friend Erin who came along for company. Friends Ron and Susan were to visit.  Becky comes in tomorrow night. 

So that was my day and I hope yours has been as pleasant as mine.

Love and Prayers from Here to There.
