Day 14

"...I'm back in the saddle again.."

Back at my home away from home. I arrived 2 hours later due to complications, not involving my flight. It's good to be with my wife!

Today was a good day. Other then me coming back, she is now catheter free! She has always had a hate/hate relationship with that contraption. Thankfully, Meggan also has not had any bladder spasms,(Praise God) another reason to celebrate Catheter Free Day. We also are happy to report, no fever!

What do you do in the airport with nothing to do but time? Think about flying. What we're those Wright brothers thinking? They must have been crazy! (They didn't create jets, I know, but follow me) A couple ton of steel, formed into bird-like structure. Thousands of pounds of food, flying equipment, not to mention people weight, seats, baggage, gas, etc. Then we actually sit down, strap in and wait for the plane to reach a speed where then the plane pushes off and rises.

The day didn't come without setbacks. Meggan became VERY nauseous a few hours after my arrival. (Not associated) It resulted in her belly tube being put back in. This is done to prevent nausea. Sometimes patients stomachs can handle food easily. This time, Meggan is not adjusting as fast as she would like. She believes it will delay her return home. No word from the white coats.

Thanks to friends, I'm now hooked on 'Alias' and cannot stop watching.

Tomorrow is looking up, I'm taking my wife on a date. Well, I'll walk 3 blocks, buy some Dunkin' Donuts coffee, walk back and we will dine in our private hospital room, overlooking a palm tree or two.....oohhh lala!

I'm glad things are still looking up! I have thought many a similar thing about flying and why am I voluntarily letting a stranger take me up how high? On one flight from CA to PA one of the stewardesses screamed and sat down. I didn't like that so much. I do like your idea of a Dunkin Donuts Date. So cute and fitting for you coffee junkies. If the doctors give you slack tell them Meggan runs on Dunkin'! Much love and prayers.
