What a nice lot of people I met today. First the mini van arrived at my door around 9.15...driven by a very bright and cheerful Scottish woman named Evelyn. The passengers were very diverse...a slight Indian lady dressed in a sari...a lady named Jill who told me a large part of her life story...(women can do this while waiting for a bus !) Another lady with a pronounced English accent and one man....don't know where he was from....he only said hello and then I'm sure felt overwhelmed by so many women, uttered not one more word! Arrived at the hospital early so Jill and I had a diet coke in the outdoor cafe. She showed me where Perry will have to go for physio and the entrance to use. This hospital is being rebuilt with business as usual! It's a bit like a rabbit warren. Sixth floor where Perry is...very nice and as usual a very busy place. Perry looked reasonably O.K.....on oxygen as he has a pain relief drip that he can control. I looked at his chart and could see his BP is high and his sugar levels not that good either. I'm pretty sure things will settle down tho as others have described similar reactions. He will be on his feet for a short while tomorrow....Ouch. I wont be visiting him tomorrow as I have to go to an AGM meeting at the club, then have an appointment at a hearing aid place that will check my hearing and make a mold of my ears in order to make me ear plugs the same as musicians and swimmers use. My hearing is still normal....which for me means I can hear a sparrow fart! When we go on the cruise I want as much quiet in our cabin as possible...some friends have told us we could have noisy neighbors and that ear plugs takes care of it. Ordinary ear plugs don't do much good for me, so $120 for custom made. Oh well...with care they should last me for a very long time. Anyway...getting back to the patient....he is plumped up with lots of pillows...has rented a TV for 5 days....tells me the food he has eaten is delicious...now it's just....get better!
