It sent me here and I saw this about your health situation. So I've got you on the prayer radar now. I hope our paths cross someday. My wife is also named Nancy. And my sister as well.

The headaches are 95% gone. I'm off pain meds. I'm waiting for my follow-up appointment to be scheduled. And I'm REALLY glad to be home. Quick update: I’m back home. The headaches are 95% gone.

So, it's 1:00 on Friday, they don't know if they will be able to squeeze me in today, and they don't know what plan B is if they can't get me in today. This sounds very similar to when they had me ready to get into an MRI, only then to find out it had been canceled. Overall communication works well with so many people involved in caregiving, especially with the daily details like medicine doses and diet restrictions. Somehow the major things, though, are slipping through cracks and there is not a way to be sure who is bottom-lining things like scheduling an angiogram or canceling an MRI.

They just unhooked me from my arterial line, and they are moving me out of ICU into a less closely watched room today. Best of all, now that the a-line is out, I should be able to change my shirt :) Progress at the hospital.

I can't walk around because I have a leash (okay, it's an arterial line so they can monitor my bood pressure in real time), but I can stand. MRI tomorrow morning. Time to sleep.

Don't try to get anything done. You'll be amazed how fast the time goes and how easy it is to get used to just lying there! I'll bring some DVDs by Tuesday. Merilynne Take it easy, Chuck.

I am so glad that the prognosis is good and of course I will be thinking of you until we hear the all clear. Take care, don't think too hard (you're frighteningly lucid above), and we'll talk soon. -Jesse Chuck,
