still

Spent all day - from ten to ten - in ICU with th'Mr. They don't seem worried except they haven't let him go. His pulse has been mid-fifties to low-sixties all day. They've backed off the idea of getting him on a pacemaker and instead are taking him off some of the medications, which together amount to a great big pile are probably what's causing the pulse slowdown. Less pills seems like a Good Thing to both of us.

He was okay'd to move to a bed in Telemetry, but one hasn't come open, so he's still in ICU.

Today I got several inches done on Aranmor, in between emptying the urinal and rearranging tubes, hoses, wires and bed linens. I'm a wreck when I'm at home (and even now am wondering if I'm missing a vital phone call by being on line) so I just stay there with him all day.
