It took almost a whole day after I was admitted before I was transferred down to my permanent room on Ellison 14. Not nearly as posh, but more convenient. No sofa, but the room was at least as large, and it had a second bed (empty -- since I'm neutropenic my insurance will have to lump it that I get a single room). I lost my river view for a construction site, but it's been fun to watch the building take shape over the past few weeks -- I hardly ever see serious work going on, but they're making fast progress for all that. Turns out that when it's done, the leukemia/bone marrow transfer unit I'm in will move to the new building, so everyone here is interested in watching it go up.
The extra bed has been very handy. My mom spent a few worried nights here, and when my sister was visiting she pretty much just stayed with me the whole time, which was great since that was when I was feeling particularly crappy and was glad for someone ar ound. The ward turns a blind eye as long as we don't abuse the privilege, and Linda, the very nice breakfast lady, even suggested P order some cereal or something for herself when I was picking out my breakfast.
