Stars I'm glad that they did decide to keep him overnight, hopefully they can run tests and give you some answers

Tweety glad the dogs were OK

Ado I usually go to local forest preserves to watch birds

Sounds like a nice day Dianah

Had a good day at work, not too busy, even had time to help others

Rest of the day was quiet,  just exercise

J and I decided not to get together this week, given that he's going out of town this weekend and I was exposed to Covid.  So far no symptoms, will test tomorrow

Have been pleased that I have managed to maintain my calm after my three day weekend.   It's a daily, even hourly challenge, but I finally seem to be meeting it

Grocery shopping today after work

After last night's storms it will be cooler, in the upper 70s

8:50 PM: Hubby called and said he had the MRI....twice? Or maybe one and a half times! Because the girl put the IV in wrong and the contrast stuff started running down his arm onto the machine. So they had to get him out of the machine to clean it up and so he could get stuck again. This time the contrast went through. He said the toughest part of the MRI was when they told him to hold his breath for 30 seconds. Of course, nobody could 'officially' read the MRI, so he doesn't know if it showed anything. But, yeah, he said he does feel better with that fluid gone. He's not sure if maybe they'll discharge him tonight.(But they could keep him another night to make it easier on me!)

PS: 11 PM- Hubby was supposed to call me and let me know if he was going to be discharged or not. I just called him (and woke him up again) and asked "Can I go to bed now, or are they going to Spring you tonight?" He said I could go to bed because he wasn't getting discharged. 

W00T! I am going up to my room now> as in NOW!

Tweety, that sucks for your friend and his husband. I agree that I'll just not go on a cruise. (unless it's just me and Hubs on our own boat ?).

We enjoyed Stranger Things. Sure hope there's another season coming. 

Nearly a liter of fluid around a lung would be pretty uncomfortable.
