Thursday: Living at home, rummage the fridge for meals, usual breakfast choices, lunch choices, ponder projects - how to fix the lack of insulation in front office bedroom, one more beam to treat in the gazebo with wood treatment, Walmart/Aldi run, harvesting the last of the Swiss chard, evening TV streaming distractions with the wife.
Saturday: Hospital room, no kitchen, living with nice strangers who get you ice water, take your vitals and try to be nice about waking you up at 4a to draw blood, walking EVERYWHERE with the IV pole, including the shower, gearing up to shower (covering the port/IV mess), what you have is now what you carried in your carry-on suitcase and backpack, new conversations about Jesus, lots of time to reconnect with none of the home distractions, living in the moment. Isolated, but not.
