It has been a long night. The ICU was full, and Stu didn't get a room assignment until midnight. They let me in the recovery room to see him, and then again at midnight when he got to his room. I just saw him again. He hates the bandage on his head, and says that it feels like a wire is wrapped around his forehead. He hurts. He also hates the catheter in his bladder, and said "I have to take a bladder busting piss". When Alison went in to see him, he said "Hey Alison, I'm peeing, having a catheter blasting pee". He is just tossing and turning in bed, twisting himself in all of the cords.
Stu's resting heart rate is 48 (yeah Iron man!!), which is freaking out the nurses. When he is agitated, his heart rate goes up to 65... (zone 1.03). Freak.
He is scheduled for a CT scan of his head around 8 am, just to check out the inside of his skull. Last night when I saw in the recovery room, he said he was "still working on the UPS problem". I asked him what UPS problem, and he said "delivering to the right house". Where did that come from?? He hadn't solved the problem by midnight--I'll ask him again today.
Time for a shower and some breakfast. Like Tom Boudette says, I'll keep the lights on....

Remind him that even numbers on the right, odd on the left.
