I got very philosophical about long waits in hospital. If you're going to feel like crap, it doesn't matter much whether you're at home waiting to feel better or at the hospital waiting to feel better. You quickly learn what to bring to keep you occupied. My wife brought her knitting, I always made sure I had my phone and charger.

The nutritionist will be good for you. Write things down, ask lots of questions. Best to know all you can now, it gets harder to take in all the info later. Bring your caregiver if possible, a second set of ears is very helpful.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
