Tomorrow just became today!

on February 23, 2012

I think there might be a funny story within this situation, but I haven’t quite found it yet.

This afternoon I found out, almost by accident (during a phonecall with Son), that he could be discharged from the hospital today. I immediately rang the hospital to confirm this and said I’d be there first thing tomorrow morning, explaining that I lived 200 kms away. But the woman on the phone said it had to be today because they needed the bed.

Okay….

In the meantime I’d received a phonecall from our local hospital to say that they would be delivering a special chair and other equipment for Son this afternoon and would I be home … okay

Long story short, I then rather frantically had to arrange for relatives in Perth to pick Son up and have him overnight, cancel my planned visit to Husband, confirm delivery of Son’s equipment (which, as it turns out, can’t be delivered until tomorrow anyway).

Okay….

So, our wonderful relatives are now bringing Son home tomorrow morning. As he can only tolerate sitting for about 15 minutes without pain, I think this may be a long journey.

Previously I’d been told Son would probably be in the rehabilitation unit until next Monday, maybe this Friday at a pinch, but only if he made a quick recovery.

Well, he made a quick recovery all right – it’s only Thursday!

I feel a little sped up!

So home tomorrow … the beginning of a new adventure – hehe!

It’ll be Son and me and a bunch of birds; wish us luck as we let the funny story unfold!
