You know it's going to be an interesting night...

...when you sit at shift change giving report and this announcement comes over the loud speakers: "Attention.  ANY cardiologist in the building please call..."

You know that just isn't going to be good.

But no codes... so we never heard what was going on.

In news at home, so far so good with Linda. Sort of.  We're all trying to do the best we can.  I can relate a little to a panic attack situation, definitely to the anxiety situation, but I'm really stretching (genuinely) my patience and understanding to understand an almost agoraphobic need for home and an almost obsessive compulsive need for things to be done in a certain way and for all things to remain the same when reality has so changed.  I do get it. Gene gets it. We do and we're trying to do everything we can but Linda's situation has changed for the long haul and while the emotional aspects are understandable to us, they're certainly not very convenient.

(These are my thoughts mostly from the hospital conversations.  Once home, things have been fine.  Linda's adjusting to her meds and is very sweet as a guest.)
