Visitors in the land of IVs

Sarah, Adam, Brent and Raven came by to see how I was doing, and brought presents!

Sarah got me a monkey in a johnny, and Brent & Raven got me a cozy GIR blanket!

Sarah got me a bunch of gadgets from home to keep me entertained, and Adam tossed in my copy of “Trauma Center – Under the Knife” for the DS, so I could do some surgery of my own.

I have these leg things on, designed to prevent blood clots while I’m in the hospital bed. There is one on each leg, and they periodically inflate and deflate, alternating legs, like blood presure cuffs. When they deflate, they do so with a low hiss, that sounds like a car going by in the distance, or someone breathing.

Also, the Apple stock I bought yesterday (well, first thing this morning) went up by the close of the market – I made $250! If I sold it now, that is. I’ll hang onto it for a year or two at least… Seems like as long as Steve Jobs doesn’t kick the bucket, the stock should do well long-term.

I was walking around today, so hopefully I’ll get to go home tomorrow night, or Sunday afternoon…

For now, I think I’ll get some rest, at least until the nurse shift change at 11pm, when they’ll wake me up to take my vitals…
