For crying out loud, the guy just had surgery 24 hours earlier to have a couple of ureathal stents removed. So I spent about 4.5 hours in the ED with him until all of the results were back from the tests and he was taken back to his room in the home. Needless to say, I am mentally wiped out tonight so I am not sure how long I will be on here.
