Aah... the wonders of modern medicine!

Well, Chris is looking much less encumbered today!  Like I blogged before, he is free from the ventilator and belly tube, and he also just had his central line IV removed.  I can only assume that this makes his life much more comfortable, being able to move his head without snagging anything.  

Now, most folks complain about hospital food, but Chris has been raving about the chefs supplying the CCICU selections.   They have supplied him with the most delectible ice!  He also started sipping water, which might have well have been a sparkling glass of Dom Periognon for as much as he enjoyed it.  He had dreams of going out to the local brew pub with his friend, Jeff, bellying up to the bar, and ordering a frosty glass of --- Coke!  It's the simple things in life....

His daytime nursing care has been stellar.  He had a visit this morning from the nurse he had when arriving at the CCICU yesterday - just to check in on him and say 'hi'.  She was really im pressed with how good he looked, and regrettted not being assigned to his care again today.  She was FABULOUS yesterday.  His nurse today is very nice as well, as are the rest od the staff I have met today. They are crackin' jokes with Chris, and keeping him as comfortable as possible. The night care, though,  could have been better...

The CCICU is getting him out of bed this morning, and sitting in his own comfy barco-lounger - Looks like he should have a remote in one hand, and a soda in the other (and maybe some clothes - the hospital gown kinda ruins the look!)  But sadly, no big screen TV in sight.  He will remain in the chair until they have a bed in the Cardiac Care Unit, where he will moved to later today.  Yea!
