Good and bad

Got up this morning at 7 to shower and get ready for my surgery. We left in time, and had no problems with the bus, and got there early.

Took us a little time to find the right place, but eventually we did. Got signed in, and taken up to the presurgical area, Was there when my phone rang and it was the nursing home. Oldest Brother was having trouble breathing and they were going to do an x-ray.

The surgery went fine, and I'm in no pain. mashfanficchick and I took an Uber back to zer place.

The nursing home called again, he'd been sent to the hospital.

We got here and called out for food, and set up the air mattress for me to sleep on.

Then we mostly just hung out til it was time for Lonestar. A real downer of an episode. And while it was on the hospital called. He has the flu, and isn't in good shape. At that point he was on oxygen through a mask. mashfanficchick called the Kid and asked her to talk to me so I could fill her in.

I Skyped the FWiB afterward and we had a nice time. Then I caught up on the mychart emails, and discovered that he'd been intubated since they called.

So that's the bad news. They keep asking me about a DNR, but he has indicated to me that he doesn't want a DNR, and it's his choice.

So that's how things stand. Tomorrow, moving things from Great Neck to here, with RK's car.
