As Iain walked by yesterday with his two chest tubes and no walker, one of the cardiology fellows, Manish, mentioned that Iain was a beast and he should be set up as an example to other patients to what they can achieve.  I have to admit, it has been easier to share his advances.  What I do not share are all the daily things he deals so stoically.  This week he has a lot of nausea.  He does not complain about it or anything else, he just deals with it.  But I can see it is miserable.  Nevertheless he pushes on and rarely takes a break from his daily routine (well apart from the algebra).
