mentisiterinvit

Hello everyone!
This Sunday evening is the HBO premier of Game if thrones. I get HBO, and I would love some company.

So, I invite everyone to our place Sunday evening. Come by after 6:00, and the episode starts at nine.

Please let me know if you are likely to come so I can have enough snacks.

We are at 18 norice st.

Hope to see you here!
I.

Hi everyone! As of this am I am officially at rehab at st. Vincent's. Things are going well, though slower than I'd like. It will be good to do more intense physio than they could do at the civic.
So far, the hospital and staff are quite nice.

Anyway, I'd love visitors. My room # is 4210-2. I don't know my therapy schedule yet, but it won't be on over weekends. I can leave in my wheelchair too.

So, it really feels like I've reached a milestone. Hopefully home in a few weeks.
I.

mentisiterinvit

mentisiterinvit has had another flare-up, apparently of the "usual" kind, on our way back home from Toronto. At present she's in the Kingston General Hospital, having been (technically) admitted, but waiting in the Emergency/Observation ward until a bed becomes available. We have been warned that this may take as long as several days; the hospital is "gridlocked".

I've got the use of her car, so commuting won't be quite as dire as it might be, but it will still present logistical problems; my current work task isn't something I can do remotely. Are any friends going to be in the area to visit her?

The woman who checked me in at the Kingston waterfront Holiday Inn sometime after 2:00 this morning went above and beyond the call of duty. She gave me the special "visiting someone in the hospital" rate, waived the parking fee, and said that I was checking in on Monday and that one night's room charges would take me to checking out on Tuesday, i.e. effectively an extra night's stay. It's the kind of thing that will very much incline me towards staying with them again when I visit the city. I must find out if there's some kind of program to give such employees the recognition they deserve.

Also: Apart from the lack of bed space, mentisiterinvit has been getting much better care here than she usually has in Ottawa. They're giving her adequate pain control without difficulty, and they're taking her problem seriously. I suppose that that may be influenced by her having a tentative diagnosis and surgery already scheduled in Ottawa, but it's hard not to think that there are other factors involved.
