Sunday in the hospital

Jim is doing better today. He has been awake a lot and any discomfort he has is being handled with Tylenol (he's still on some narcotics for the cough). We had lots of visitors today: Our kids Luke (and girlfriend Kristin) and Kelly; my Uncle Phillip, Aunt Peggy, and cousin Alex; and the people I work for (Kim and Carl Corneliuson and daughter Sarah). It was nice to see everyone. Jim has been eating well, so that will help his strength improve. Physical therapy this afternoon....more rest after that....and all plans are still for discharge following radiation tomorrow. I can't wait to be at home. The sun looks so nice....I wish we were at home with the windows cracked open to let in some fresh air. Hospital air is.....ummm......depressing. Here's to a good, productive, healthy week ahead of us!!
Love,
Elizabeth

Glad to hear you have a check out date. I know you will be able to walk around neighborhood and crack them windows. I agree the air in hospitals and nursing homes have a special negative feel.

just wanted to check in, wish you both well and hope you get back to normal. miss your sense of humor ( yeah, really)

hang in there.

Hope you were discharged today as planned. I know you hate the hospital, who doesn't. I bet you were really tired of the screaming lady across the hall. Today would be a good day to get home. It looks like spring is finally upon us. Good to hear you are gaining your strenght back. keep it up and you will be better in no time.
