Moving spaces / off to sleep
Gilly has been moved to a different room. It is quieter now (semi-private). He does not feel ready to go home yet. Maybe later in the day, but the walking is still unsteady (not on his own yet). He's still feeling dizzy and is having trouble formulating his thoughts (seemingly more so than yesterday for some reason).
His new phone extension is 1371 and he's in room C371. He says he's happy to receive calls and visitors. Maybe call first to be sure he's still here before heading out. Only 2 at a time in his room, because noise confuses him.
His smile never completely faded, but has been less bright since the biopsy. Right now, the devilish grin is making its way back to his expression, I must say. He's enjoying his lunch in his new digs. More news later.
7 p.m.
Gilly will not return home until Friday, more than likely. He is having trouble accessing the words to express his thoughts, complains of double vision again, and seems rather drowsy. Medication may be taking its toll, not to mention 2 surgeries within one week's time. Dr. Mohr is going out of town tomorrow. He suggests that due to these symptoms, Gilly is obviously not ready to go home, and so his stand-in doctor is scheduled to release him on Friday. Gilly prefers to remain here for now, so although the trips to the hospital are exhausting and unpleasant (as hospitals can be), he is in good hands at this time.
He needed a lot of support to walk this morning, and was very unsteady on his feet. This improved as the day trasnspired. I asked him if he'd like me to stay tonight, and in true Gilly form he thought only of me and my comfort. he refused the offer, and promptly drifted off to sleep.
We're all looking forward to Gilly's return. So many lightbulbs that need changing. Okay, you're right, I've been spoiled for the last 24 years!
