I drove up to Be'er Sheva again today, leaving just a few minutes earlier than I had yesterday. I had prepared a playlist of interesting music for the journey up, so that made it even better.
David seemed about the same as yesterday, sometimes fairly lucid and other times a bit confused. I fed him as much lunch as he would eat and got him a bottle of Pepsi Max out of the machine in the lobby near his ward. I also talked a bit with his nurse today to fill her in more. She'll also be there when I go up tomorrow.
I left the hospital a bit earlier than I had yesterday, and it's probably a good thing I did. It was beginning to spit a bit, and I hit some drops of rain, never heavy, until about the middle of Makhtesh Ramon. After that, it cleared up and was mostly sunny. It was quite windy and gusty, though, for the entire trip back. Tomorrow, I'll almost certainly hit some real rain. I hope it's not so bad that we get flooding, because that could stop my trip, or at least delay it significantly.
The Negev is always so beautiful -- the textures and subtle color variations, the varied terrain, and, at this time of year, the precious flowers that bloom here and there, especially along the sides of the road.
I arrived home a little after 5:00, caught up on my e-mail and Facebook messages, and worked on another playlist of music for tomorrow.
In the morning, I'm planning to leave VERY early in order to get there by the time they're doing rounds. That way, I can fill them in more on David, and I may find out more about what they know and what they plan to do.
