He just woke up as I got to his room around 10:00 am. Obviously he slept through Dr. Burt's morning rounds since he could not remember seeing Dr. Burt this morning.
He had his breakfast, yoghurt and a fruit bowl. He was wondering why nobody came to make his bed or to clean the room. The PT girl did not show up as she said she would the day before. As it turned out, they all came by, but nobody wanted to wake him.
He called the nurse to get his arm wrapped to take a shower. During the time he spend in the bathroom, his bed sheets were changed. And a little later the cleaning lady came back to clean the room. Ah, the world was in order again.
Amy Morgan, the nurse practitioner, also came back in the afternoon to give us his discharge instructions. Oh boy, we actually might be flying home on Saturday!
The PT girls came the 2nd time to take him out for a walk through the halls.
He still gets easily tired and he tried to take a nap afterwards. But then someone came into the room again, so there is not really a lot of opportunity to get some uninterrupted sleep.
His afternoon blood draw results came back and his platelets were 40!
Now it was already time to order dinner. It takes about 1h for delivery. He ordered chicken tortilla soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, strawberry short cake for dessert.
This usually means for me to walk back to the hotel. He does not want me to walk in the dark alone. This is really not a problem, there are always lots of people out and about. I feel very safe to walk the short distance to the hotel. But I'm also glad to go "home", relax, have some food, watch TV and have some peace and quiet time for myself... :)
