fish nuggets, a little snooze

The afternoon hasn't been too bad- a little up & down, but mostly the valium seems to be keeping Lars' pain enough at bay. It takes quite a while to start working, and we haven't yet arrived at the end of an 8-hour cycle so we don't know what the last 3 hours will look like. Fingers are crossed.

Dr. Grandpa Uninformative came by & said nothing again.

Lars decided on the hospital fish nuggets for dinner & found them somewhat enjoyable. Put him right to sleep.

Someone remind me why they think babies prefer thin, tinny recordings? The hired caregivers hanging out with our roommate, who is an infant, are playing baby einstein CDs over & over, while simultaneously watching some extraordinarily odd show on which men are dancing or something in front of women who are judging them.

We had such a great nurse today. Leslie. Funny & wonderful.

I love you all, though from afar and maybe you would never even know it. Every day I am amazed by how wonderful Joa is and empathize with the stress he, you both, and most of all Lars, are under. Thank heavens for valium. May it live and be well!
