I’m coming along , but I’ll definitely be here in the hospital at least a few more days. Today was a really busy day. Even the main nurses commented. Visits by the doctors, dietitian, case manager and others. I’ve also been outfitted with a walker, but still have to have my trusty pole machine as well as a nurse follow along. I’m mostly doing ok, but had several more tests including EKGs and two blood infusions. Last night my heart rate dropped to 30, but picked up and was back to low normal by morning. I’ve been trying to get up out of bed and sit in a chair for an hour or two. Appetite still a struggle, but two different kinds of Ensure help.

Much cooler outside from what I hear from the staff, and it’s supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the good vibes, photos and
short videos. Not a lot to watch on tv, but I do get a little reading in when I can.
