So, a volunteer about my mother's age came to wheel me to Room 104 (in the ER) and the nurse there gave me the gown and slipper socks and said she'd be back to start an IV. Just as I got all settled in my fetching hospital outfit, 3 nurses came in, connected the phone, and said the doctor's office wanted to talk to me. The regular rooms in the hospital are all full, so I've been sent home and home health is coming to administer my blood thinner shots (which Richard is picking up from the pharmacy). I am immobilized, except to go to the bathroom, so I'm very thankful for wireless. Oh, and they did let me change into my own clothes and bring the slipper socks home.
