We're out of the hospital and trapped at the Red Roof Inn.
One of Dr. Jones' residents stopped by early this morning and told us that the most recent xray looked good, the air leak has sealed, and that Ray would be released this morning. So after a trip to the hospital pharmacy by me, and a bath and having the last intravenous port removed from his wrist, we made our way down to the Emergency Room Entrance where we waited for a taxi, which arrived within half-an-hour, and a very nice driver ferried us the three blocks on snow-covered streets and got us safely in the door of the motel. Once in our room on the 7th floor (PRAY that the electricity doesn't go out; I'm not sure I can make it down, much less up, 7 flights of stairs in the dark), Ray parked himself in the chair behind the little desk in our room and I scurried back downstairs to get him a subway sandwich at Jimmy John's, just next door through the Inn's lobby. It was really good, too, especially after almost 10 days of hospital food.
So, anyway, I guess we'll be here until our neighbor Frank calls us and tells us that our road and driveway are clear enough to welcome us home.
I don't even like being away from home this long on a vacation, so keep praying and send positive energy! Love, Kay

Glad to hear the hospital stay is over! You're living in the wrong part of the country. Here in Seattle the temperature is in the high 40's - low 50's, sun is shining and the sky is blue, but I'll bet that even the snow looks good after being in the hospital so long. Hope you make it home safely and quickly.

We are glad things are going well. Congratulations on springing yourselves from the hospital. The rest of us are trapped prisoners in our own houses. Hope you can get out of C'ville tomorrow, but it looks like a long shot from our house. The best news I have is that it looks like a neighbor of yours has plowed Fagan Drive. Best wishes, Rick and Nancy
