Sorry that you have to hang out longer at the hospital especially without your flies Pete. I'm certain that the nurses are happy to have you a few days longer (you are probably the highlight of their day) and it is better to be safe. Maybe it seems easier just because you knew what to expect. Take care and rest so that you will be ready to come home.
