Thank you all for your very kind comments, and for your well wishes. My husband is back home, and will be taking it easy this week. This was his third bout with the same illness, and the shortest hospital stay he has had, so we are very pleased. His doctor says that he is an enigma of sorts… They have no idea what brings his illness on. But the good news is that he is now able to detect the symptoms as soon as they start, and the sooner he is admitted to the hospital, the shorter his hospital stay.
He had a single room… which he hasn’t had before. One time he shared rooms with a man who insisted on watching television all of the time (mostly cartoons), which my husband wasn’t too happy about. But being the way he is, he never asked the man to at least to turn the TV down.
This time, my husband’s “hospital control” worked – as far as calling the nurse to let her know when his IV was empty, but the television portion of the control didn’t work. Fortunately, my daughter came up with a solution for this problem: We headed over to Walmart and bought a very cheap universal control which worked out great. He was able to watch a few football games when he wasn’t reading his Kindle. Between his Kindle Science News and an Ellery Queen mystery, the football games on television, and much needed bed rest, he was able to keep himself occupied.
Again, thank you all for the very encouraging comments, prayers, and well wishes.
I’m glad he’s back home!

Thank you, Dru, he is “taking it easy” at home, and hopefully this won’t recur any time soon…
Kay says
That’s wonderful news. I’m so glad for you both.

Thank you, Kay. We were really surprised (and happy!)by how short his hospital stay was this time…
Isabelle says
Good morning, is there any way you could indicate which authors and cosy mystery books appear in digital format (eg. epub)
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I’m sorry, Isabelle, I don’t think I’ll be able to indicate the books that come in digital format.
Shawn says
I am happy to hear your husband is better and home early. Never fun to be in the hospital and always a faster recovery when home.

Shawn, the first time my husband was struck with this illness, I finally had to literally nag him (and just about drag him) into going to the hospital. He absolutely hates going there. I know he’s glad to be home.
linda says
Good to know that Danna. Take care, both of you. My first husband died 24 years ago and I still miss him very much. Whenever he would get out of the hospital it seemed as if I did, too. You take care of yourself , too.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Linda, and I’m sorry to hear about your husband.
Melissa says
I’m glad to hear that your husband is doing better, and that his hospital stay went well.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Melissa, his stay did go very well. (I think the nurses enjoy him as a patient, since he never “demands” anything. His IV was once empty for close to two hours, and he only called the nurse once. I would have beeped the button a few more times, but he’s not like that. Apparently his method worked, since he came home way earlier than his doctor had expected.
Elaine Faber says
Glad he’s home. Now get back to work, enlightening your groupees of all the wonderful cozy mysteries out there.
The manuscript for my novel, Black Cat’s Legacy, is coming along well with a new teacher. Look out world, here I come ( hopefully….some day!!!). Maybe one day, my name will be among your list of GREAT authors!! LOL!!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Elaine, be sure to let us know when your Black Cat’s Legacy (mystery novel) is ready for the public!
Donna says
Glad to hear this, I’ve been praying for both of you and wondering how things were going. Hope hubby is all better soon!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Donna. He sees his primary doctor on Friday (and a specialist on Monday), and hopefully that will be it for a while.

XOXOXO!!!

Thanks, Maria!
Carrie says
I’m so pleased to hear that your husband is home from the hospital. Also, the fact that he is now able to detect the early symptoms must be reassuring. I hope that, now he is home, his recovery will be speedy.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Carrie, his early “self diagnosis” has been great. The first time he had this, he didn’t know the symptoms, and he was in the ICU for a week. This is sooooo much better!
