Sherry,
From my experiences, Ken's roomie is not what I have seen. As Rosie suggests, there must be some other things going on with him. Maybe keeping your focus on Ken would make the hospital visit a bit more enjoyable...maybe snuggle up next to him in the bed...on the side away from the roomie, of course
...
May you have many more boring, uneventful days and nights through Ken's treatment and recovery!
