Bill is so much better today. He still has a fever, but it's not as high. No word on that from the nurses. In fact, they don't seem to care if he has a fever, so maybe it's normal. I infer that they don't care from the fact that they don't take his temperature when they stop in. I learned how to use the electronic thermometer, so I take it. It seems weird, though, that they don't worry about it. How could a fever not matter? But what do I know?
His heart rate is down a little. It was up around 120 until today, and it's down between 105-110. I tested mine on his machine (a finger clip) and mine was 62, and I'm no athlete, but I wanted to get an idea of how high his is, relative to normal.
His oxygen is a few points above the lowest acceptable level, but that's without oxygen being pumped into his nose! So that's an improvement, too!
He still can't walk, but is sitting in a chair.
I'm in my hotel room right now. I have to admit that I got my feelings hurt a little bit, today. He didn't seem like he liked having me there, even though I kept quiet, and picked up things when he dropped them, and helped him and stuff and didn't talk. But when I did ask him a question, he seemed like he wished I hadn't. Then he turned on sports really loud and didn't talk to me or look at me or anything. I tested the waters and said, "I think I'll go back to the hotel for a while." He could have said, "Oh, no. I'll miss you too much." hahah I wish. But he said, "Okay."
Hahahahaha. OUCH! I didn't act like it hurt my feelings. I acted real nice because I totally understand.
But I WILL say THIS: Harumph! I've been thrown out of better hospital rooms than THAT one!
When I finish sulking, I'll go back and act like a mature adult.
Talk to you later!
Love to you...
Hey Beth, When Bill's feeling better, we'll give him what for! You're doing wonderfully. Love, Ken
