Heidi and I have been admitted to 9-Long, the transplant wing at UCSF Parnassus. We have separate rooms, but we both have private rooms which means that someone could spend the night in the room with us.
The hospital beds are extremely comfortable, and must have some form of AI, as they self adjust shortly after I have settled. The menu for hospital food is surprisingly diverse, with attention paid to local produce and pasture-raised beef, and free range chickens. The bad news is that I won’t be able to eat anything for a while, most likely a few days.
I have had about 5 tubes of blood drawn and had an EKG. I am also about to have another chest X-Ray. The view from my room would be wonderful if it wasn’t such a dreary day outside. I will try to attach a photo to share (first time posting from my iPhone).
5:30pm, 6/25, T-14 hours until surgery…
