Harry is not home yet. We went to the hospital at around 6:30 only to find Harry in radiation. He was finishing his treatment when I arrived (this time with the kids in tow). I wheeled him back upstairs after treatment expecting to get my training and then leave. What was that term I used earlier..... Oh Contraire.....
Turns out that the orders stated that once they feed him they must watch him for 3 hours after. That would have been at the earliest 11pm. There was no way that I was going to be able to keep the kids occupied for that amount of time and be able to keep myself awake for the 30 mile drive home. So I told the nurse to call the doc and insist that releasing him at this time was ill advised.
They did as I requested and he is at the hospital. Tomorrow.... well I know the plan.... I can only wait and see what actually materializes.....
I am so tired that just maybe I can go to sleep at a normal time. Whatever normal means. :-)
