Waiting…. watching the clock… it’s 4 oclock….

It’s 4, and we’re still waiting to get back to see TG in recovery. I finally got impatient and called back to see if we can come back yet.

I talked to the same recovery Nurse L that we met with on Friday morning. She’s the one tending to TG.

First up, she apologized profusely, but that she could not let us come back yet — there’s an emergent situation with another patient (not TG *whew*), and they can’t let us back there at this time.

She did say TG was fast asleep and resting well. They’d given her a dose of valium and had her back on her PCA of dilaudid, and so she was comfortable and resting just fine.

We’re back to waiting for an ICU room. Worst case, we’re in for a longer evening in recovery again. If that scores us a fast pass back to a floor room as a temporary ICU room again… I’m okay with that.

So we wait.
