I start day camping

14 November 2011 (Monday), Day 33

As expected, the room was still not cleared when I returned to the hospital from my weekend parole.  If I walked into the room, I would have to be isolated right away and god knows for how long. We struck a deal that I would find a seat in the Day Room and stay there during the day and go home for the night.  This continued until the ward found me a clean room and bed.

The occupational therapist had showed me how to lie down on and get out of a flat bed safely and without straining the back. That was good advice. Otherwise I may need to hire a hospital bed and squeeze it into our bedroom for this interim period.

The day camping and night parole style of life was actually quite demanding. I could not rest during the day and when I got home in the evening, I was busy getting onto the internet, replying emails, updating Facebook, browsing Hong Kong news, etc.
