back from the hospital

I sat with Cyn all afternoon, and evening. My mom and sister came down for a while around 8:00. It was kindof a dull day. She just had to lie there all day. No tests. Just a few meds. It was shift change just after I got there, so at least we got to talk to the nurse while I was there. He said she could go home if she wanted, but he gave us that attitude where doctors know best - even though they weren't really going to be doing anything for her. He pretty much had me convinced it was important for her to stay, but after a minute, I found some holes in his story. The stress test was already scheduled for 7 AM, and you have to be there a couple of hours ahead of time, so she decided she might as well stay. It didn't occur to me to ask why she had to stay in ICU. Two of her neighbors got moved to regular rooms. After insurance, we're going to be paying for about 20% of this.

I wouldn't say that things have gone badly, but I certainly can't say I'm happy with how things have gone.

Thanks. And thanks for your suggestions earlier.
