More reportage
Thursday, January 13th, 2011 10:03 pmA long day of waiting. Steve is overnighting at the cardio ward, which tosses visitors out at 8 p.m. When last seen, he was zoned out with a happy smile on his face, listening to Pandora on his cellphone. I fear ownership of my earphones has changed hands.
The ICD installation went well. Tomorrow before breakfast the doctor will do an Interrogation, to make sure that the device is answering the phone, then a chest xray, after which we'll be free to return to East Winslow.
The hospital has a 24-hour cafeteria, which is useful, strange, and wonderful (today, I had a Rueben for breakfast. Of course it was 10:45, but it's the principle of the thing), though I must say that I will be Very Glad to leave the land of White Bread Only. What's with that, exactly?
I'm as packed as I can be for the morrow, and I do believe I'll go to bed.
G'night.

Steve's Procedure
