We're home!!

I'm glad to report that we're now back at home again. After a good night's sleep, helped by a sleeping pill, Lorraine woke this morning feeling way better than yesterday. The extra night in the hospital was really worth it.

This morning, the hospital catering service managed to deliver the wrong breakfast - twice! This, actually, was the only mistake Mission Hospital made during our stay. The nurses were excellent - professional yet friendly, and there seemed to be a constant stream of people passing through - both surgeons, an occupational therapist, a nutritionist, the hospital concierge, the nurse manager, the representative of the spiritual services, a lady to take the meal orders, and even an old gentleman whose sole job seemed to be to tape a new trash bag to the bed every morning. Overall, it's our view that the hospital does an excellent job.

So, mid-morning, the plastic surgeon came by. He was very pleased with way things looked. All his discharge conditions were met, so he signed the papers and, within an hour, we were out of there.

So now we're at home. Lorraine's napping and I'm trying to get caught up with work.

Life restarts.
