You can tell from his expression exactly how enthusiastic Torger was to be back in the hospital yet again today to get more fluids. My sister Marcy theorized at one point that being in the hospital for weeks at a time would be a lot like being stuck on an airplane--in coach--for the same amount of time. This is the best comparison I've heard so far, and it explains why going back in day after day is not a lot of fun, no matter how much we love the staff. His nurse today said, "At least you guys are patient and polite about it...some people get really angry because they're so sick of being here." (And yes, Torger's pants have a hole in the knee. They're wearing out, but we're waiting to get him some new pants until his weight stabilizes. Right now, all of his clothes are huge on him!)
