Life is not always fair

I have been on an emotional roller coaster since yesterday morning. First the doctors said Steve would be in the hospital a couple of days, which then changed to 5-6 days as the day progressed, early this morning they told him he was being discharged today, which then changed to we need to keep you another day. Of course Steve being a man has refused to stay another day and is going home today once they have all his discharge paperwork in order. I am frustrated beyond belief that he is going through all of this alone and there is not a thing I can do for him from here except comfort him over the phone. I should be there taking care of him, talking to doctors and nurses, holding his hand through all the needles and medication. Life is really not fair at times.
