Counts continue to rise, reaching new heights today. Over the next couple of days they could stabilize and drop some. It is hard to predict. But, bottom line, the progress is good and we are planning for a Monday discharge. I will be soon on to the next phase of the recovery process.
My address will of course change and I will post that as soon as I get it. For now I would recommend holding off on mailing anything until I get settled into the new location. If by chance you did mail something do not worry. I have already spoke to the hospital staff on the possibility of outstanding mail and they should hold it for me.
As part of my recovery constraints I am not allowed any alcohol, and unfortunately confirmed today that NA beer is included as well. I guess it will be awhile before I can enjoy a good pint (or even a fake one).
While here I do try to help out with home activities. For my extended stay I purchased an iPad Pro 12.9’’ with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. It is definitely useful to have some kind of computing device during this lenghty stay (another excuse to purchase nice electronics). With IOS 11 and cloud services you can get a lot done. So far I am happy with how the iPad has been working out. The larger screen size is a plus for me. There is WiFi here in the hospital that is robust enough to support streaming services such as NetFlix or Amazon. That device set-up gets a thumbs-up from me.
