Well this isn't what i was hoping to hear. Hang in there Mark. Remember, attitude in this case goes a long way. Keep your chin up and we look forward to seeing you back here soon.
I know a couple of guys in Florida that have cold beer waiting for you. Don't want to miss that do you?

Not much of an update, but had some nurse buddies check last night and it seems that CCU is pretty much restricted to family only and limited visitation then, but so is the Critical Care units where I work. Maybe when he moves to a step down unit some of us can go see him. No contact back from their patient services either, but he does have a Get Well Balloon arrangement on the way from "His Buddies at FTE". The little girl on the phone didn't want to put "get your old *** up and get back online" so I went with the other.

OK Mark... enough with monopolizing the nurses at the hospital! 
We all KNOW that you're just there for the hot chicks in white. Just do us a favor and take it easy on the candy-stripers, OK? (psssst!! do they really taste like peppermint??)
Get back here ASAP! I know you've barely tapped your story reserve, and we're all sitting around the OT campfire waiting for you to come sit back down with us and share.
In short: my friend, you are missed.

Just got a call back from the florist and she said he can't even have the ballons, yet. She is going to keep calling twice a day until he can. Not sure what that means because I think we allow balloons in all our rooms. Sounds like he could sure use our prayers and it looks like that's all we can do for now.
