So real... And I guess surreal as well...<BR/><BR/>Yes -- bring it to rehab with you... Learn to have it everywhere with you... It was on my nightstand while I slept... On my little sickie-table when I was not in the bedroom... On the toilet when I took a shower... There was a notecard with <B><I>large</B></I> letters saying <B>BEEPER</B> posted at eye level next to the door reminding me to take it with me, everywhere...<BR/><BR/>My princess changed the batteries every month... Probably overkill, but the situation was more than vaguely important... We had an older beeper that took a AAA battery... My thought is that beepers/pagers tend to be better than the cell phones many are relying on now -- my understanding is that the range on a pager is better and more consistent...<BR/><BR/>And I waited longer than you will wait -- I called it now and then to see if the effing thing was working... (I wasn't always convinced it was...)<BR/><BR/>And -- ours were provided by a service associated with the hospital, but funded by a philanthropic organization... It had a hospital phone number... A few times I got pages that really had nothing to do with me or my "call" and <B><I>that</B></I> can really get the adrenalin flowing!!!<BR/><BR/>It does seem to be moving quickly -- but we both know that this is one of those "hurry up then wait" situations... Hopefully, when it slows down it won't be insufferably slow...<BR/><BR/>You take care, buckaroo -- I'm thinking about you, and I'm proud of you... Looking forward to hearing about the "official" listing event on Tuesday...<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>SteveBreathinStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425167024998690437noreply@blogger.com
