Tuesday Morning

I arrived at the Casa to find Mike awake and eating. This is a very big change. We had a pleasant morning. He spent some time cutting his finger nails. This is worth mentioning because he focused on the task for so long. He then got up and went in the bathroom and brushed his teeth and cleaned up.  He was more alert than he had been for days. I was starting to fantasize about him just getting better and better when he threw up. It was the same dark brown stuff as before. This got the nurses in a dither. That stuff is pretty impressive. It looks like he is bleeding out through his gut. But I know better. This has been pretty regular throughout this ordeal and he hasnt died yet. The nurses called the doctor thinking he would move him back to Kaiser. But the doctor said they arent going to do anything about it. We have already decided we dont want him shufted (is that even a word?) back and forth. They took his blood pressure and it was fine.
They gave him some pain medication and he drifted off.
Now Im home and will be going through his things, organizing them and looking for several legal documents that will make it possible for the wheels to be put in motion for him to get Medi-Cal.
This is soooooo much fun!!!
