Observtions on the hospital floor

Some pictures from the hospital floor where Carl was moved after being admitted to the hospital...

As we were doing our laps around the hallway, we saw these "Med Sleds" on the wall of the hallway outside the stairwell. We asked one of the techs on the hall and I think she said that they would enable just two workers to be able to get a non-ambulatory patient down the steps safely. (https://www.medsled.com/)

A framed photograph displayed in the hallway of a crested saguaro cactus in bloom - so pretty!

Carl getting his steps in... note that he has grey socks, indicating that he is allowed to get around on his own.

There was a walking map on the hallway wall letting us know how far we would walk in a lap! The nurse asked that we not leave the area in this wing of the hallway as it was possible that Carl's wireless monitors would not be able to continue to monitor him. We figured that 3 laps was less than 1/4 mile.

When I got home, I took a picture of Miss Kitty to send to Carl -- she was missing him and he was missing her, but not her waking him up at 4am... that was taken care of by the people taking vitals and administering IVs and taking blood for lab tests or taking x-rays -- yes, at 4am, or 3am, or 2am, or whatever time of the day or night!
