Today or Not Today ? That's the Question

Entry 25
Monday, December 13


7:20 AM CST - We're expecting a call from the hospital telling us if and when we can pick Harry up from the hospital. Two of the three of us will have to wear masks around him due to our new sore throats/colds.  Does anyone else believe that hospitals are the scene of germ festivals?


10:20 AM CST - Getting good at waiting.


12:20 PM CST - Finally. Heading to the hospital to retrieve Harry. 


2:00 PM CST - Harry is sitting comfortably in his favorite chair at home.    He walked through the hospital to the car and had an uneventful ride home. We took the long route through the park because he said he was enjoying being outside. The shopping list he's making out now is getting longer so maybe he is getting an appetite after all.


2:10 PM - 6:10 PM CST - He slept away most of the afternoon. Even the smell of food hasn't wakened him


10:30 PM CST - After having been awake a large part of the time from 6:30 to now, Harry has gone to sleep sitting in the chair.  He walked around several times this evening, had his Jackson Pratt bulb drained and his blood pressure taken (too high). He was listless and had no appetite most of the day . Seems harsh to wake him so that he can go to bed.


If you'd like to email him directly, Harry can be reached through his Shaw account [ hdstimson at shaw.ca ]
