Called Stew about 10 this morning. His dad answered the phone, then put Stew on. He hasn't been having a very good day. His IV was leaking, apparently all over him. Then when a nurse came to fix it, she slipped and fell, and in the process the tube going into his nose was pulled, or jerked, out. Ouch. It sounds more like hospital slapstick than taking care of sick people. He's still recovering from the latest assault to his person, and his dignity, and asked me to call back in a couple of hours.
