Hospitalization (hopefully the last post)

DAY 13: Sunday, April 13, 2008
This morning I awoke to find that the air leak from my right lung has stopped. Good news. The doctor then unplugged my tether to the wall (the suction) and said if all goes well I can peace out tomorrow (after course enrollment at 6:30 in the morning, of course). I got my IV pulled out today with no replacement IV, so no more morphine. I guess that's a good thing.

Today I realized that I haven't clipped my fingernails in 2+ weeks (I have no nail clippers here in the hospital), and typing on a keyboard feels somewhat awkward with such long fingernails.

The doctors, nurses, aides, student nurses, and staff in general here at Cayuga Medical Center have been great. Food was good too, except my appetite was somewhat shot for most of the time due to foreign objects inserted inside me.

Once again, thank you everyone for everything. Hopefully I will see you all soon enough.

Dude Hans, get back soon, I miss having you around. It's been far too quiet for far too long.... even though the only noise you seem to make is the muted tapping of your laptop's keys lol
