The trouble with master plans...

...is that they seldom seem to work out the way we'd intended.

The plan was to get Cheryl out of the hospital yesterday and either drive to her folks or get part way back to Moscow before sacking out in a Motel 4.6 or somesuch. Unfortunately, that pesky blood pressure didn't get back into good numbers until the late afternoon, and by the time we could have been checked out, it would have been midnight. So we spent another night at the hospital.

Cheryl is feeling much better now and hopefully the nice doctor will come in, discharge us and send us on our merry way very shortly. That would be good, since I am perilously low on clean underwear at this point.

Ahhhh Dave - you have encountered Law #1 of cancer treatment at distant hospitals: they will always keep you one more day than the # of clean underwear you bring. Law #2: they will discharge you with an Rx you must have filled for the ride home after all the pharmacies have closed for the day. Law # 3: the day they get you discharged on time will be the day it snows and the roads are closed anyway. Hhhhm-I'm sure there's a #4....

Glad you have Cheryl's family pretty close by. Glad you have a good strong sense of humor. Glad Cheryl is perking up; hope she continues to feel better. Drive safely.
