The hospital is small, but really good. They gave him lots of tests, including a ct scan, blood work, etc. and put him on intravenous antibiotics and pain medication. All of his vitals (heart, blood pressure, etc.) are good.
Poor Ben – he slept til 7:30, but the hospital didn’t decide to admit Jack and get him settled until noon, so Ben read and played games on his computer in the RV the whole time. It is considered a whole wellness hospital with rooms adjoining the gardens, muted lighting, carpeting in the hallways and very homey feeling. Jack has a private room, but is still in pain, but the folks are taking good care of him. The doctors think one to three days of antibiotics should take care of the infection.
Once Jack was settled, we returned to the campground to arrange for a few more nights and luckily we were able to get a spot since it is 4th of July weekend and the place was almost filled.
Ben and I spent a little time in the pool and hottub and then drove 10 minutes over to the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River to tour the exhibits at the visitor center and watch a movie about the environment. We stopped to see Jack who still isn’t feeling much better (but not getting worse), and the doctors are still pumping him with antibiotics. We returned to the RV for dinner and were able to watch cable TV and check email.
