happy canada day

hey folks.

I haven't been around the past couple of days because we've been spending our time in the emergency room. LOG has been going through a bit of a rough patch since our trip to the hospital last week. By Wednesday night he was extremely dehydrated and under-nourished (we could not get to him to eat or drink much) and was really disoriented from the morphine left his system (and from him taking his regular medication without food) so we were advised to take him to the hospital. Actually, we were advised by the tele-health Ontario nurse to take him by ambulance. She arranged for the paramedics to come and we spent the next 10 hours in emergency, waiting to hear from the doctors about his condition.

Apparently, being disoriented and dehydrated isn't enough to get one admitted so they kept him in the emergency room over night. He is still there now but, I'm happy to report, is coming home tomorrow. Today is the first time in almost two weeks that he has seemed like "himself." Anyway, when I'm less tired I'll write more about it.

Fitness wise, we've been walking a lot but it's just up and down hospital corridors. Meals have been grabbed on the run because our routine has been totally disrupted. Right now, LOG is looking forward to getting home and we're looking forward to him being here. We all need a good rest for a couple of days and with a little luck, we'll get it.

Have a good weekend folks, I'll write more when I can.
