Induction Day: AM

January 20th...Our induction day has arrived! Excitedly, we awake at 5 a.m. to call the hospital (as instructed) to see when they have scheduled us to come in. Of course, 5 a.m. is right in the middle of a shift change, and the person who does the scheduling has not yet arrived. We are told to expect a call later this morning. So it is back to sleep as best we can.

Around 11 a.m., having still not heard from the hospital, we decide to call. Unfortunately the news is not very good. While they are doing their best to get us in, it does not look like there will be an open bed until 8 p.m. when few of the current patients will be discharged. We are told to expect a call to confirm around 3 p.m.

So, more chilling out on the couch until then -- I think we'll pop in a DVD while we wait.
