I really don't have anything to update about Dad's condition, except to say that because they haven't been able to successfully wean him off of the medication, Dobutrex(sp?), that is strengthening his cardiac function, they're going to do an echocardiogram tomorrow. They're hoping to get a clearer picture of what is going on in there, so they can find a new way to treat him and get him stepped down to the next unit. It looks as if it may be another 1-3 days before that happens.
On a personal note, I want to say thank you to all of you. I've been at the hospital for at least 12 hours every day since Tuesday, not counting dinner away and the exciting trips Beth and I have been taking around the north side of town to find the things that Dad requests and requires (although finding pear juice, music, and a nail brush, has been relatively simple, it seems that the north side of Indy is not the place to go for lychee fruit. I guess I'll have to make a foray into Dad's neck of the woods to an Asian grocer...). It has meant so much to me to check the comments on this site here on the waiting room computer and see the support you're giving, not only to Dad, but to our entire family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
As usual, I'll post as info becomes available. Until then assume that Jiffy Pop is progressing nicely and is becoming crankier and more antsy to leave by the minute. Although occasionally annoying, this is improvement, and we're grateful for it.
A quick P.S. to all of you who are nurses: thank you! Dad has had such tremendous care here, and the nurses (with one notable exception) have been so helpful, friendly, and accomodating, and I am in debt to them for the kindness and rule-breaking exceptions they have given to me. You all do great and essential work and I will forever thank you.
Also, a HUGE thank you to Beth. You have got to be the kindest person I've ever met, and I've enjoyed our talks and our outings so much. Thank you thank you thank you for the support you've given my Dad, and for being there all the time for him. You are an angel. I hope you've had a safe trip home; I'll sure miss you and I'll talk to you soon.

Thanks Erin, you have to be worn out, get some rest too. Thanks for all the updates. I agree with Cat, but by this time Bert should be weaned. I won't beat him with it, I'm celebrating my 20th year of non smoking with 23 prior years of heavy smoking, he can do it.

It is nearly 3am, here in CA., and I've just finished reading all the posts since Mamma's 1st announcement, and commented on just about all of them.
It took 2 hours, hee, hee!
And now that I'm caught up, and aware of the improving condition of my friend I can go to bed. ;-D
My thoughts go out to all of you!
I will be sending a card tomorrow, and IF the opportunity eventually presents itself I will try to call as well ( Using my sexy "female" voice so as not to spook Bert during his recovery, since this would be a 1st for us. ). ;-D

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I got what you mean , appreciate it for posting .Woh I am glad to find this website through google. "If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable." by Seneca.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
85
I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
86
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I am always sating hotels and the difference in quality and customer service still amazes me. I have done a lot of travelling through business and pleasure and the difference to me between a nice stay and a great stay is welcoming staff. There is nothing worse than checking into a hotel to find that the staff can't even really be bothered to servce you and show you too your room. I have also stayed at hotels where items of my personal belongings have gone missing after the maids have gone through the place.
