I got up very early this morning and got out on my walk shortly after 5:00 a.m., continuing for over 45 minutes.
After breakfast, I headed out to the hospital to see if David had been sent out yet to the rehab place. I was a little surprised to see him still there at the hospital, since they had told me he would be leaving early in the morning. So, now we know that "early in the morning" actually means less than 10 minutes before noon. Hmmm.... I wonder when "late in the morning" might be -- 3:00 p.m.? 4:00 p.m.? 5:00 p.m.
Anyway, I helped get him ready and loaded into the ambulance, and then I filled my car with gas and set out on my own to Bat Yam. I think I got there not long after he did.
I had some complications along the way, though. In the middle of the desert, my phone quit working, and I was depending on the Waze application to guide me to the rehab place in Bat Yam. Luckily, I had also brought David's phone with me. It didn't yet have Waze on it, though, so I downloaded it (in Mitzpe Ramon, without WiFi), set it up, and successfully used it to get me to my destination. The problem with my phone was that the car recharger was NOT recharging it for some reason, and so the battery ran completely down. In fact, it's fine now that I've been home a while and had it on its regular recharger.
They gave me several papers with all the contact info for people at the rehab hospital (called בית בלה bayit b'lev -- "House with Heart" or "House in Heart"), but somehow I lost it, which makes me quite angry with myself. I'm sure I'll manage to call them somehow, and, of course, they do have MY number and will almost certainly call me. But it's still very annoying.
