What day is it again?

I think it's Thursday, right? So far this morning we're just hanging out. Rubin asked the nurse this morning what time they thought the doctor would be here so he will know if he has to be here another 5 days, and they said that it's already been determined that he will be. I guess his charts have already been updated to prepare for that, but without the "official" diagnosis I don't think the doctor wanted to tell us that it's a for sure thing. The GI specialist should be in sometime today late morning/early afternoon and we should get a definite answer from him.
Right now he is comfortable and looks and sounds pretty good. The pain medication they had been giving him was a kind that works immediately, but then wears off after about an hour, but he can only have it every 3 hours. Last night the nurse called the doctor and they are now also giving him Vicodin in between the shots of the other pain meds to keep him comfortable. He has just ordered Jello for breakfast but hasn't tried eating it yet because he's too busy sending emails and working. He is very anxious about missing another 5 days of work, but his boss is awesome and I think she is helping put his mind at ease. I will update again after we see the doctor or if anything else exciting happens.

And I just realized that by posting this, it now takes up more than an entire page of my blog. If you are just now "tuning in", go to the bottom and click "Older Posts" to start from the beginning and work your way up.
