Overheard in my office…

A bit of background:

One of the men that works out of our offices has been quite ill, so ill in fact that for a week he was in hospital, shifting between ICU, High Care and Cardiac ICU.

Today we received a message that he was home from hospital but would not be coming into the office for a few days.

W (to the office): AB is well, he is out of hospital and is resting at home for a few days before coming back to work.

K: Oh thats good.  Is he stable?

At this point W told me that she had to bite her tongue (literally) to keep from pointing out to K that if AB wasn’t stable he wouldn’t be at home…
