Well, here it is a bright new week! We are getting along......nothing new or exciting is happening.
Tim is waiting to hear if he is on the pacemaker list for today. He is not allowed to eat - unless they can't get him scheduled in. It is about 11am and we should hear by noon if he gets lunch or not. If they bring him food, it means we do this again tomorrow. I don't know why I say"we" I ate a delicious grapefruit and yogurt this morning!
Tim is up and around pretty good today. He has made a couple of laps around the block and then rehab came by and took him for another lap. He is attached to a pole - so that always has to go rolling with him. As soon as they do the pacemaker he can walk more freely and, I hope, get in line for being discharged a few days later.
He is always a challenge. Since he has this clot on the left arm - they will put the pacemaker on the right side. (Last time it was in his left shoulder area). They also want to put in a PIC line and it can't go on the left and supposedly it can't go on the same side as the pacemaker. I think they will mutate a new arm so they have somewhere else to poke and put things. His right arm has been poked so many times they couldn't even hit a simple place for blood this morning.
They are starting to look at my arms as surrogates. YIKES!!
We don't see doctors on the weekends as they have the weekend off - and now that surgery is done, they don't come around as much. We (I) have lots of questions - and not sure where they are.
Hope to update a little after lunch!

Glad you enjoyed the grapefruit and yogurt!
Say hi to Tim for us. It sounds like things are going pretty good so far for him. Yeah!
We just got Bob home. He is doing fine. All of the tests are good. They are calling it a TIA and don't know why it happened. I will put more info on my blog and emails this later today after we get settled at home.
Internet hugs to you and Tim from Bob and I.
