Arghhhhhh!!!!

Called Tom -- no answer. Called his nurse. She said she knew nothing about him leaving today to get train home and hadn't actually seen him yet this morning, but she'd talk to the doctors -- call back in 10 minutes.

In the meantime, I tried Tom again. He was not really awake, but that's how he's been in the mornings since the defib adjustment -- takes him forever to wake up, get dressed, etc.

Called the nurse back. She said she'd talked to the doctors and they didn't want to release him today. No other information. They wouldn't recommend we leave, but could sign a paper taking responsibility and then get him home. She couldn't make any suggestions as to what I should do.

I called Tom -- told him what the nurse said. Basically told him to start waking up seriously if he wanted to come home today.

Then called his cardiologist in York, Maine. Lynn, his nurse and the person who knows everything about everything, won't be in until 9, when I'll give her a call.

I don't want to go to the hospital until I check out of the hotel, but I may have to -- I can then come back and use computer, etc. until checkout at noon.

Got people waiting for the computer now.
