Careful What You Wish For

In a clear case of careful what you wish for, hubby has not yet come home from the hospital. He is actually having a nightmarish adventure. I took him to emerg thursday, where they told him (and me) that he would have surgery friday afternoon and wanted to send him home. He wasn't ok with that and made them keep him. I know for a fact he is regretting that decision as I type. They got him a bed sometime thursday night... and by bed, i mean a room in emergency, across from the nursing station. Friday afternoon, when they hadn't hear from OR about when to get hubby ready, the nurse called to find out that his name was not in for a procedure.. anywhere.. I have no idea what the doctor did, but no one knew anything about him being there. NO ONE. and the doctor was not only not in the hospital, he was gone on vacation. FANTASTIC! So the urologist on call comes to have a look at him, sent him for an x-ray to check on the progress of his stone, some tests and tells him that he will get him in when he can... probably sunday, and to sit tight... for TWO days... so midnight on Friday night they found him another temporary bed, at least in a quieter place (lots of old people doing nothing but sleeping). He saw the urologist this afternoon, yes it will be tomorrow but he won't be going home before monday. On an up note, as we were about to leave him this evening, they came to get him to take him to his new room! He has a real room! Two days later.. LOL. he has the window bed and a lovely view and a nurse willing to cater to him. and a roommate. too bad he is anti-social, but i think it's good for him.

all i can say, is that it is a good thing that he can spend entire days in bed because at the end of this, it'll be a long time before he feels like doing it at home :)
