The finest hospital in the world! You will be in the best hands imaginable, and you're right...you won't feel much like visiting. I'm glad your spouse is going to be there for you. I could not imagine not having my significant other with me. I don't know what it's like there now, but the visiting hours were very strict. I wanted to cry when they kicked him out at night. The nights were the worst! The first few days I could hard talk on the phone...too weak. It's amazing how fast we start to recover though. You sound like you have an upbeat and positive outlook. That is the best way to be. I put everything in God's hands and it helped to mitigate the fear.
