Monday afternoon

It is about 2:30 Monday afternoon. We don't know alot and we haven't seen too much today.
It's like pre-surgery you see someone every 15 or so minutes. After surgery you are lucky to see a doctor every 15 days (or so it feels).
Tim has not eaten today - in hopes of getting the pacemaker this afternoon. Of course they do not bring in his meal trays...... but the ones that pick up the trays still come looking for them and think you are hiding this food for later under your mattress. Then the nurse's aid comes in and wants to know how much you were able to eat and drink. Tim has been cautioned that he needs to drink as much as possible so he can flush his system and hydrate his veins for "pokes". Hmmmm, he's on a NO eat or drink order since midnight. Maybe it's good we don't see many as this is frustrating! Tim made about 3 laps around the ward this morning - and has now been napping all afternoon. He didn't get much sleep last night, so it's good to see him catch a few zzzzz's. The last we heard he is on track to have the pacemaker put in about 5 this evening.
Will catch up again then! Keep your fingers crossed!
