Finally got through to him on the third try -- he's not in the bed they told me last night. And he had a doctor with him. And then in was something else (none of which they were sharing with me).

His voice is sooo quiet...and the room is noisy, with two other patients and assorted nurses, etc. Had trouble hearing him on the phone and he said, because of the ambient voices, etc., he was having trouble hearing me.

After I talked to him I tried to grab a bit more sleep, but Rufus, my empty stomach, and my over-active brain conspired to deny that to me. So, after I finish the leftover pizza, I'll get my body together and head over to the hospital to see him. Yeah, I'll probably need a nap again today when I get home, but maybe I can get some of the odds and ends around here accomplished afterwards.
