ready to move

I was able to get back to see Tim this morning in the recovery area - and stayed about an hour - until surgery patients started coming in. He is doing very good this morning. Spirits are good! We are waiting now for a regular room to open up - they said that can take all day - a lot of patients don't go home until their "ride" gets off work in the evening. He gets lots of monitered care - but now he is ready to get up and sit in a chair....and work on getting better. They can't do that kind of help in the recovery area - as they are busy with the patients coming in from surgery and needing assistance. So, he is just resting. That's not all bad! His stomach pain and muscle cramps are gone. Wonder medicines!!! He has a morphine pump - and has learned to use that when he has some twinges. He might as well! I will spend another day lounging (?) in the waiting room.......
