Thanks for all your prayers, everyone. Everything went well, I stayed till I could "feed" the patient (no, it wasn't pizza) and will go back in few hours. He's in a cardiac unit, so the visit times are very short. Isn't it cute when guys are all helpless, drugged up & groggy? I'm sure he'll sleep all day. I'll bring him home tomorrow.
Turned out he had occasion to travel to our favorite pizza place Thursday, so we got to eat pizza together this week after all! Going back to smuggle in that Frosty later.
