When I envisioned how the hospital stay would be, I figured that I would have a lot of free time because John would be sleeping a lot. He's really not. Our days are actually quite active. However sometimes in the middle of a sentence, his eyes close and he's asleep, but it's only for a couple seconds before he is awake again. Also, he's not really sleeping super good at night. First, the hospital just isn't the coziest place. Also, the nurses come in every so often to take his vitals or change something or check something, whatever the case may be. Then there's the alarm. the. damn. alarm. Now today, we just took the sensor off because it was so annoying. It monitors his heartbeat and the oxygen in his blood. When the oxygen level gets to the preset bottom limit, it beeps. It also seems to be a Wife Proximity Monitor. The second I get across the room or am in the middle of something, it inevitably beeps and then I have to stop everything to go silence it. We hate that thing. But at night, John has to wake up and reach over to silence it. So anyway, he's tired. I'm tired too.
One thing that happened today is the nutritionist gave us a list of foods for once John comes home and can eat again. and there's even some good stuff on there! It was nice to just be able to look at that and know that we have some decent food in his near future.
Something else great about today is that we upped our walks from 3 to 4! Also, we think that tomorrow we are losing a couple tubes. The less tubes, the better. I hated the lotion that they gave us so I brought some from home today so now John smells good and so does his whole room. Also, John had me bring his clippers so he could give himself a trim!
Pretty handsome, for a guy with a tube in his nose :)
