The Patient is remaining prone -- as instructed by his Medical Professionals -- and actually seems to be enjoying it. He is shown here being tended to by a couple of the nurse cats who think he has decided to live on the couch in the family room. OK with them!
This evening he is watching the BCS Band Show -- and the pre- and post-show football game. We don't care who wins, so I didn't feel like watching with him. I have trouble really getting into football unless I care who wins. I do watch the Rutgers games and would watch the Aztecs, except that they stink and nobody wants to televise their games. The Patient prefers college ball because he likes the half-time shows.
In the meantime I bought a blood pressure cuff today, at the suggestion of the Main Medical Professional, and I think I have figured out how to use it. It's a rather fancy one that claims to be "recommended by more doctors" and it had to be set up and programmed. Once it is ready, it is accurate even for medical dummies. My blood pressure is 121 over 81, not bad considering I just finished dealing with the stupid blood-pressure monitor. He is supposed to be taking his blood pressure once or twice a day (in case of internal bleeding, I think) but isn't electing to do that. We are working on it.
He is feeling much better. He is enjoying the extra attention. Now we just have to get him up off the couch.
