Goodbye New York!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

For the past 3 days, the patient info screen in Conk’s room has displayed her expected discharge date as the following day. When it didn’t happen that first day, we weren’t too upset; it did seem a little ambitious. Then yesterday, when the screen showed today’s date for most of the day, and we were eventually told that no, she really needed one more day, we were discouraged but accepting. We started out today sure that we’d be leaving tomorrow, but it almost didn’t happen once again. It took most of the afternoon for us to track down and meet with all the parties involved in the decision, but we finally discovered that the PT dept was causing the holdup, not her cardiac surgeons. We managed to convince PT that Conk seemed fine to us, maybe just somewhat sleep-deprived, and so, barring any unforeseen complications, she’ll be released tomorrow. Al will be driving up from Baltimore, collecting us all, and then driving back to Virginia.

Finally it’s the right date!

(Conk’s pain score has always been 0)

These daisies from Dancy arrived today!

  9. Excellent news! Have a safe trip home and give Conk whatever she wants as you nurse her back to total health.
    Chickpea will be so happy to see her and vice versa!
