Partly for [livejournal.com profile] patsmor, partly for my own diary ---

Phoned Mother in the hospital yesterday in late afternoon. When asked how she's doing, she said "Miserable." I asked her if being in the hospital was helping how she felt, and she said "It might, if I were allowed to sleep. People keep coming in. All I want to do is sleep." I told her I loved her, and that she should go ahead and take a nap until they brought her dinner tray.

No success getting ahold of Dr. Wollman yesterday. His receptionist-gatekeeper said he wasn't in, and for a condition report on Mother I should call the nurses' station on her hospital floor. I'll call Dr. Sheiman today, and perhaps call Dr. Wollman's cell phone, where maybe I can leave a message as I couldn't with his clerk.

Spent about an hour and a half around 5 am wakeful and making lists as I lay in bed. People to call (almost forgot Aunt Barbara, Mom's sister-in-law), things of Mother's I do and don't want to keep, etc.

Am being unusually diligent about keeping my cell phone on and with me, just in case. Will take an overnight bag with me when I go down this weekend in case it becomes something other than a daytrip.
