Thanks for the good thoughts everyone! He is hopefully being allowed to leave the hospital tomorrow but then must stay in bed for another two weeks at the apt. Richard , there is one McDs but its a bit far the hospital so he only a hamburger once in the last 15 days LOL... Most of the time it was hardboiled eggs and sandwiches and lots of tea and milk brought from the apt by me .. occassional Chinese food fetched from a nearby small restaurant too . He is now at the stage where is moaning and wanting to go home poor guy so Im glad they are letting him out soon!
