Here I am on 15B in the Princess Margaret Hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a pretty small area, a typical hospital room, that I\u2019m sharing with Ernie, my roommate. Sounds like he might be out Friday afternoon and that I might be in for more like 2 weeks which sounds more typical than the 7 day minimum. Who knows, perhaps I\u2019ll be an overachiever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of questions on how I\u2019m doing, do I have this, that and the other thing? Generally, \u201cno\u201d. Later the Dr says I\u2019m a sought after patient for the nurses because basically other than this one thing, I\u2019m fine. A low maintenance patient and I\u2019m hoping to keep it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again there are a multitude of tests. Blood work, chest X-ray, ECG, and a series of swabs of various interesting parts of my body! Apparently, making sure I\u2019m not coming into the hospital with some sort of disease\/infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least x-ray was a trip off the ward down to the 3rd floor for a front & side chest x-ray. They let me walk back to the ward on my own! I could have gone AWOL to the Tim\u2019s or something. Security seems lax enough. \ud83d\ude1c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seem like I\u2019ll need to get my head in that game and settle in. It\u2019s only 5:15pm and I\u2019m feeling bored\/trapped\/stuck and who knows what else. Time seems to have slowed to a crawl. One day at a time, all things are possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
