I am in line for a private room. I got up the nerve to ask today and asked too late and the room that opened up today was signed off to someone. But the theoretical plan is that the other private room should open in a day or two and I should get it then as long as nobody puts a hold on it. For now I'm allowed to be in a conference room or empty patient room during visiting hours. At least for tonight; this will change with staff changes as I have learned before. It seems the nurses all realized a p rivate room would have been very good for me when I brought it up so I should have said something yesterday when i would have gotten one then. My guess is it never happens but I may be surprised.

I did get a roommate last night and she reasonably wants to have her family to visit in the room during visiting hours which is why I requested moving. It takes away my safe place where I can avoid the noise of visiting. It feels like it lasts forever, esp. since it should end at 8 but they don't enforce that at all.
