Well, Joyce arrived last night from Montreal, 12 hours late and in the middle of a minor snowstorm. We went up to see Wendy this morning and managed to get all caught up on news from Ontario. Wendy is still slowly improving. She managed to drink the equivalent of two small glasses of various liquids this morning, which sounds silly, but is a vast improvement over the previous few days. She says her throat is beginning to feel better, but she is still coughing up stuff. We took a walk around the ward this morning: me holding Wendy and Joyce leading the IV pump. That gave the cleaners the opportunity to clean up her room.
There is a notice on Wendy's door warning people to sanitize their hands before and after leaving her room, admonishing people with contagious diseases to remain outside the room, and spelling out proper precautions for visitors. The proliferation of Hand Sanitizers certainly makes the point about the role of dirty hands in transmitting diseases.
With Joyce here I will be able to cook supper for someone tonight. I'm really out of practice, what with Wendy unwilling or unable to eat my usual fare.
Wendy says thanks for all the emails.
