November 30 Final Update

The day is almost over and I’m about ready for bed. Actually I’m already in bed, perhaps I should say, I’m about ready to go to sleep. I plan to get a Dilaudid shot in my IV and then I’m out. It hurts quite a bit right now, but I want to stay conscious enough to finish this posting.

I’ve discovered something that improves sleeping comfort. As you may know, these hospital beds can help one to become a piece of origami with the bed. When I go in for my CT scans they always put a small foam pillow under my knees.

I tried putting a very slight bend in the bed under my knees. I probably only have a three inch rise, but it dramatically increases the comfort. I found that if one puts too much rise, it feels like you’re sleeping on the steps and your feet are in lower step.

When I get home I’m going to experiment with different foam pieces to see what works best.

One of the doctors that regularly visits, told me he thinks they may pull the chest tube tomorrow. Then they should let me out of jail and I can go home – if I can walk. They tell me my lungs sound very good and my x-ray was very good this morning.

We’re a little concerned about Danny. Someone was over to our house this morning. He likes to bark at new people, so Karol gave him a treat. With treats he seems to like to carry them around the house before he eats them. He dropped his treat and then started to pick it up. The lady didn’t see him drop the treat and she though he was eating something bad. When she went to pick it up and throw it away, he snapped at her.

That gave us some pause for concern. I’ve got to break him of that.

I’ll be interesting if it goes through and what comes of it. For some reason I’m not overly enthusiastic about it. After all, I sort of already have my own newspaper. If it goes through, I’ll provide a link.

I’m ready now. All I need is my Dilaudid shot and I’m ready for sleep.
