 First off, Dawn and Tamara are great caring nurses. Anyone that has them is blessed.

I slept better ast night but as usual quite poorly. I generally sleep poorly away from home, as most people do. 

I am hoping to be discharged today. I'd like to get home to my wife and daughter. I think I am healthy enough to go. I guess I'll have to wait to hear from Dr. Urbach.

My roommate had emergency surgery to repair a hernia in his large intestine. He is in great shape and as been walking around the whole hospital. It makes me a bit jealous. I'll get there soon enough


Take Care.....Dave......

 I've been walking a lot this morning and a bunch yesterday. Dr. Urbach's assisting surgeon just did my rounds and said I can go home if my bloodwork checks out.
