I never realized that one could use the hospital TV remote much like the old game paddle ball... Throw it over to the couch in the room, smack the person who is sleeping on it in the head to get their attention, and then retract it to use again in case it didn't work the first time....I wonder if it is legal to beat up someone who just had surgery.... He is doing good so far, still in alot of pain, but I believe tomorrow will be better. They just took him to dialysis, and provided all goes well, he should be out of the woods, with the only concern being infection. Needless to say, he is very amusing while stoned...and quite proud of his new word...gewberette... He just keeps saying it over n over. Perhaps he will be able to focus enough later to entertain all of you as well
