Bad news!
I met with the doctor shortly after breakfast. As is his custom, he would make his rounds every weekday morning and visit each patient at his bedside. Well, when I saw how pleased he was with my progress, I thought for sure that I'd be allowed to return to my cell later today. After all, I've now been in the hospital for more than a week.
Unfortunately, however, and to my surprise, the doctor told both myself and the nurse who was accompanying him, that he wanted to keep me under observation for "several more days." This is prison lingo, which could mean anything from 'several more days' to many weeks.
I was disappointed. A week of solitude and quiet is nice, but I'm a workaholic (smile!) with a ministry. I've got lots of tasks to complete. For now, though, it looks as if I'm going to remain in this "medical monastery" a while longer.
