Saturday November 8...5:00 pm

Robert and I both got a good night's sleep last night. I very wisely chose to go home rather than staying here, even though Robert would have rather I stayed. If he had a private room I would have stayed, but with another man in the room it just didn't feel right! Glad I went home because Robert said he had the best nights sleep in 6 weeks - he sure didn't need me to be there! I enjoyed my own bed and sleeping in. Turns out, the other patient in his room was moved today to a different floor. Now Robert is the only one in what could be a ward of three. We went for a walk around the loop at 3:00 in the afternoon, instead of 3 am like the last time. We are enjoying a rainy Saturday watching football...saw University of Oregon win, now the Beavs are beating UCLA. When was the last time we did this on a Saturday?!? This is just a catch our breath day. Robert is taking lots of medications and still being monitored. So far his heart is staying in sinus rhythm. My folks and Robby came for a short visit. Robert is thinking about what he will order for dinner - they don't make him count carbs here, so he is contemplating taking advantage of that. Bad boy! He has sat a lot in the recliner today, looking out the window, even though this room doesn't have a great view. It looks out across the street at the new building that will be finished by May 09. The nurse said there won't be any rooms like this one in the new building; they will all be private rooms. The way she said it made it sound like she was implying that next time Robert could have a private room...like we are "hoping" for a next time to find out!
