ICU Day 38 - Moving Day

All final hurdles appear to be cleared. The ambulance has been scheduled for 11 am and it now appears that Shirley really will get out of the ICU today and head to Regional Hospital for the next phase of her care.  Despite some apprehension, Shirley now seems to be excited about the move in a positive way.

This morning, she insisted that I bring in all of her clothes that were in the car because she wanted to be transferred in her own clothes and not in a hospital gown. While perhaps not 100% practical, it is a very positive sign and everyone here is supportive.

Having become used to "hospital time," I have about as much faith in the move actually taking place close to 11 as I would scheduling an outdoor picnic in May. But any time today is fine by me.
