5 pm Wednesday: I hope I have taken my last nap in the hospital chair

Another day where the doctors, nurses and physical therapists all assure us that Robert is making great progress. They say he will probably be discharged to rehab tomorrow. This is a bit hard for me to imagine because he still can't get out of bed without assistance,  but apparently if your internal organs are working that is all is necessary to ferry you over to rehab. If the external parts don't work as well as they might, the Rehabbers will deal with it, I guess.

So perhaps I have taken my last afternoon nap in the hospital waiting room -- perhaps we are about to leave hospital food behind and learn what rehab food is like.

I am pretty tired right now, so I think my prose sounds as if I am a bit depressed. But truly, everything is fine, in the big picture.
