Time for a visit I guess.

     The routine was set in now.  Roomie had constant company, which was good.  Not sure if anyone has ever roomed in the hospital with a constant complainer or needy person.  I have, not much fun.  This guy was good.  Really didn't know he was there except for  bathroom trips and such.
     I was getting better.  Of course no upper body strength yet, but could manage my walker nicely.  I obeyed as they asked to be escorted to the bathroom and rang for assistance when I was done.  Saturday came.
     I'd asked for some seltzer and quarters so I could buy a daily newspaper when they came around. and proof that the house bills were paid.  Cannot ordinarily trust therm with such responsibility. 
      My brother in law and sister arrived as I was eating.  After hello's my sister from the wheelchair and such.  First thing she asked was to see my scar.  I glared at her angrily and choked on my food a bit.  No never did show it to her.  Hell I still couldn't look at it.  They left and came back with some gifts.  A stuffed bear and a plant of some sort.  Used to have room in hospitals for these things, not so nowadays.  Especially not when near a window.  I checked the bills, they told me they missed me and such. 
     It was a nice effort.  They aren't the visiting type.  A word, when visiting people in the hospital, talk about almost anything.  Mundane things at home even, trust me on this one.  It is very comforting.  They couldn't manage it.  I rang for the nurse as I had to use the bathroom.   I was escorted.  In my eagerness I reckon, I got up on my own, little tumble.  Not much room to fall on your ass in those bathrooms, so I just bumped my head hard.  Rang for assistance, embarrassed I assured the nurse I would do no such thing again.  I didn't.
     They departed and I was glad for it.  Took a cell phone call or 2.  My manager called the most.  Nice guy.  At the same time he had been serving on Grand Jury duty.  No didn't talk about that.  I enjoyed those conversations.  Even teased me a bit about one of my coworkers asking for my cell phone.  He never did give it to her, but warned me that if he ever got pissed off at me enough he would.  Told him he had to now.  After all what's a nuke threat like that if you don't use it.
     Got my walks and my meals.  My magnesium levels and potassium levels were to low.  We'll get to those next time.  Later.
