I know it's making you crazy.

Here's hoping he gets to come home very soon.

They created a teeny little MI with the stent and that seems resolved and they think a new blood thinner will work better. And of course I have to hang around to prevent an outbreak of bedbaths

He kept having angina and his cardiologist told him to have one. The rest is history. New stent, too much drama. I've avoided bitching about how they did the whole thing but it was pretty absurd and involved multiple hospitals.

but glad you're posting, since it seems he's OK.

No questions, just good vibes going your and Mr. Bear's way.

Par-TAY!! Man, it's the little things. Like your own sofa and eating when you like...though I have been a fine source of good coffee and clementines and apples, and the occasional pudding cup.

Apparently horribly painful. Apparently not life threatening though utterly terrifying. I'm tired as hell. He's stoned and on IV anti-inflammatories. And the adventure continues.

Hospitals are astonishingly the most scary and simultaneously the most boring places on earth.

My heart didn't HURT... it just kept going flubbida-flubbida-flubbida -- kinda like
when I used to look at my ex-wife before all went kaflooey.
.
How's them apples for onomatopoeia?

BTW, if you WERE my wife and you interfered with MY tagteam bedbaths, it would
be grounds for THIS (then, after I was discharged, I would woo you and win your
heart again and remarry you).
.
Hope ALL goes much better from here.

How much I love your sigline!

I knew the last part, but not the beginning...

I'm going to write this in my little blank book, so I can remember it always.

Thank you...
