Monday Morning at Home

As views from hospital windows go, the view from my window in Kingston was pretty good: some parkland, the St Lawrence River, Wolfe Island, windmills and the hospital's main smokestack.  However, it is better to see the sunrise giving a golden colour to the bush beside my house than to the smokestack at KGH.

I am not bedridden so I can get up to the bathroom and can keep my supply of water, ginger ale and snacks fresh by myself.  I can go upstairs to have a bath but I don't feel like doing a lot of walking and will stay mostly in the hospital bed as it is the most comfortable "chair" in the house.  I need to work on figuring out what food I can keep down so that I can get stronger.  Ah, food.  I was so sick of the hospital food.  It didn't seem too bad at the beginning but by the end I could get sick just thinking about it.  The CEO of both the hospital and the food service company need to try eating nothing but their food for a week.

It was great to get a good night's sleep last night.  I doubt that I will blog as often now as there will be less excitement and no messes in the night to report on.  Feel free to email if you like.

I can't thank everyone enough for the help and all the kind wishes that they have given Anne and me.  Looking back, I have had several friends (and students) die "before their time" and I don't think that I was as helpful as I might have been.
