From 4540 to 4524 with 4 pints

Dale was moved to room 4524 which is in the chemotherapy section of rooms he normally stays. They did not do this until someone else checked out, therefore opening a room for his care. Since he had the chaotic episode yesterday, they put a heart monitor on him for 24 hours, then determined the heart was just fine. In the meantime, platelets and 4 pints of blood later, Dale feels much better. Antibiotics drip constantly into him and his temperature is in control, now. He is the talk of the staff & nurses today now he is back to his regular area. Many come to his room to say hello, heard about yesterday, how are you doing today....

When Dale feels better, he is talkative and social. That he is today. Blood does him wonders.
No snow yet, but no leaves either.
I am grateful to the wonderful, dry, albeit cold, weather we are having now. Makes for pleasant drives to and fro.
