As it turns out...

And it always turns out, if not always how you planned, hoped, worked...  Yes, as it turns out...

While it was suggested that my other friend would not be going to the SLC area today, as his friend, who was supposed to be released today had been set to not be released until tomorrow... from another hospital...  Well.  It turns out that he will be being released, and at mid-day, likely at noon.  Right.  He called and... my phone has been forgotten in the other room.  I didn't hear either call.  I did get the messages.  Our mutual friend, however, was called.  But he was a bit out of it.  When asked about me, he thought I was going to moving the hospital buildings around.  And, while that may or may not be, I had not discussed this with him previously.  :p

Now, after I realized I had been called, listened to the messages, and got a handle on the data, I called back.  There is no way I could have gotten ready, by that point.  And he had already, of course, being 10:30, taken off.  I would have needed a shower and all.  However, this is all actually pretty good.  Being that the release was noon, there was little likelihood that we could have visited our mutual friend, and picked up his other friend.  And a visit after picking up his friend would be unlikely.  He, too, is in bad shape and needs to return home.

Which means there is some better chance of taking single vehicles, splitting some costs, and not needing to rush up and back.  All assuming our mutual friend is able to have visitors.  To know this, I will need to call the hospital and his sister, and find out what I can.  I could call him, but he wouldn't be all that helpful.  And probably wouldn't quite know who I am.  He might not even when we visit, but that is something else.  Yeah, well...  Two guys with really bad hearts trying to manage visiting two ill friends.  Time runs oddly, pushing isn't always possible, and it is tricky.  Still... it's what we can and wish to do.

I think I'll make an omelet, have a spot of coffee, fresh if possible, let that settle, then make an attempt at figuring out contacts and trying to stay up to make it a full day.  I am feeling better.  But this is the latter part of the day, which is always a time to begin slowing down.  Not bad though.  And I think I can have things arranged before too long, and make those calls, eat some food, and maybe get another shower in.  I just need something to make me work and I can then get to more than I thought, by far.  Later.
