Joe stayed on the 9th floor last night so my re-packing was in vain. The 2 bags are still sitting next to my chair. The ERCP for today has been cancelled, at least for now, so Joe will get to eat all day. What does this mean as far as when we will be going to the 2nd floor???...Ask the Magic 8 Ball, you'll probably get as accurate an answer as we will get from asking someone here. But we are quite happy to have stayed here on the 9th floor. This is where Joe was back in December and the nurses and staff here are the most wonderful and kind people you will ever meet! They took very good care of him last night and we will just relax and get moved in until someone from transport shows up at the door. For now, room 9315.
Sleep does a body good!
Let me just clarify about the 24 hours (and 15 minutes) in the Emergency Department. Although long, our time there was understandable given the number of people in the waiting room, waiting to be seen, and the number of ambulances that came in during the evening. They take people in order of arrival, along with severity of illness. Although Joe did not feel good, he was in no way a high risk, trauma patient. The frustration from the long wait was more from anxiety over what was happening with Joe's health and boredom combined. 24 hours sitting looking at each other, conversation was really starting to wain.
