Vorlon Whispers

December 2 Update

Yesterday was not too bad. I had pain from time to time, but I slept pretty well.

My interview was a bit confusing. It turns out the hospital had to have their public relations there. It further turns out the public relations guy and the photographer sent along with the reporter go way back together.

Then my surgeon stopped by. I think we had about three conversations going on at the same time. Normally he comes by says about 25 words and is gone. This time was different. I think I could almost hear his brain working. “Wait a minutes. This isn’t normal. Something’s going on.

The poor reporter. My hearing on a good day is not the best. She had to repeat almost all her questions to me. I was a little disappointed. I didn’t sound like she knew much about blogging in general or had read much of my blog in particular. The Vorlon Wife expressed a similar feeling.

But I got my stealth shaft into the IT department. I told the PR guy about my frustrations of working with the IT department and asked if he could improve the situation. He said he would look into it.

I don’t expect much to happen, but I CAN muster a little clout, when I need it

I’ve been trying to get solid food for two days now. This morning, the stand-in for my lung guy came by to listen to my chest.

I asked him, “Do you have any control over what I eat.” He said he did. I then asked him to put me on solid food. He said he would do that. As soon as he left, I paged the nurse. I told her he had just put me back on solid food and I’d like to see a menu. For lunch I’m having the open-face sandwich with gravy, potatoes chowder and mandarin orange slices.

They finally let the Vorlon wife and here she is now.
