Procrastination (But I Digress)

Dad's Fine, but bored

They found a bed and he's in Northridge Hospital, room 4209 (818)885-8500 then dial 0 after the message lets you, it rings for a long time and then ask for room 4209. If there's no answer, then dial all of it again but ask for the nurses station for 4209 and talk to his nurse. He goes down for tests a lot. He has congestive heart failure and he's taking laysick (phanetically speaking) to clear liquids from his lungs. The CT of his lungs was clear (except for a few old scars from smoking). He had a test to see if he had blood clots in his legs, I believe the answer was no. They have him on blood thinner now also. He's not as tired in the hospital as he was at home--which means the laysick is working. They want him to stay in the hospital til Monday, but they'll have to see how the blood thinning is going. On Monday, he's going to have a procedure which stops his heart and starts it again more regulated, but that shouldn't keep him in the hospital longer. That's all the news I know. He seems to like his doctor, but he's bored with the hospital already. I'm going tonight to play cribbage--how is it possible that I don't have a cribbage board--I have to make a pit stop at Toys R Us. TTFN
