Finally . . . Bob gets the okay to go home. . . . . on New Year's Day. He still has a bit of fluid in his lungs but they were confident that he could continue taking his medications and watch his diet and fluid intake at home and hopefully get rid of the rest of the fluid he was retaining. While Bob is waiting for paperwork to be completed, one of his favorite nurses, Charlie, comes to his room to say goodbye and good luck.
Bob finally gets dressed and then has to wait for a wheelchair down to the lobby. While he's waiting, he calls Lola to give her an update.
We took Bob home and then went to track down an open pharmacy to get Bob's six new prescriptions filled. No easy task in the late afternoon on a holiday. Bob has a home health care nurse coming to see him on Wednesday and a cardiologist check up Thursday. He sees his regular doctor at the V.A. next Tuesday.
