Day 22 Beautiful weather....wish I could go out and play...

Unfortunately Sam is missing a great week end of Florida fall weather, nice breeze and 75 degrees, low humidity and blue sky....this is what we all long for in the hot summer months. Not much happening in this old hospital. Just a bunch of sick folks who wanna get out like Sam. Sam feels better than yesterday. Still very weak, feels weird when he walks...spacey and light headed.
The big deal today was that he has started to test for his drivers permit by taking some exams on line. He finds this relatively easy and at least something to occupy his mind and get some relief from the dreadful boredom.
Today was the first time the respiratory therapist said she could not hear the crackling in the lower right lung. This is a good thing, as it means that part of the lung which has been collapsing in when not breathing deeply, is starting to remain open some of the time. Eventually it will stay open all of the time as the tissue heals and becomes stronger.
