Abigail is busy

Arlene here - Abigail is feverishly packing Bill's things, getting ready for the movers tomorrow who will be taking his belongings to a storage unit in Claremont. She was too busy to go to the hospital today (Tuesday) and hoped others were able to visit.  She reported that yesterday he was talking a lot and longing for some real food.  He hasn't eaten by mouth since entering the hospital in late January and can't eat until his swallowing improves.  Yesterday he was not fed (via stomach tube) for many hours because he was due for a small surgical procedure  -  a new shunt.  The day before, Sunday, she said he talked a lot but often didn't make sense.  But yesterday he was mentally present and able to carry on a sensible conversation.  (I should mention that on Saturday he asked if he could start practicing sitting in the cardio chair again - a good sign - but I don't know if they brought the chair in after dialysis, which the nurse said could be done, - but perhaps he was too wiped out by then. Also, when reminded that Abigail was busy getting his things ready to be moved out of his house he expressed worry about his books and was reassured that they were all going into storage and were not being given away.)
