My good friend spent most of today at Queen’s hospital having (and waking up from) surgery on a broken shoulder. As a result, I spent most of today at Queens hospital waiting, worrying, and reading. To distract myself a little, I took her little stuffed monkey and wandered around taking pictures of it (him?) as he “explored” the hospital. I think the pictures are kind of cute, so I’ll post a few of them here:

First, Monkey and I check out the hospital cafe, which serves halfway-decent hot chocolate and extremely cheesy grilled cheese sandwiches.

Next, we sit on a bench for a while and wonder how our friend is doing.

Monkey climbs a flowering tree in the warm Honolulu sunshine.

A touristy shot with the Same Day Surgery sign.

Finally, some reading (Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We) to pass the time.

is that our friend’s monkey?
Yup, she brought him along for support :)
