I am getting out of El Paso tomorrow. American Airlines
claimed that I didn't have a reservation. But, for $100 they were
willing to let me on a plane to DC. Spent an hour on the phone.
Figured that paying AA a $100 bribe to find my reservation was better
than getting all pissed and spending $371 to buy a one-way ticket.
Mom is doing fine. She'll be coming back to her apartment
tomorrow. I have a woman lined up to come in and help her. James
will spring her out of the hospital.
Funny hospital story #1: Yesterday Mom had a little
bout with diarrhea. The hospital needed a "sample". But,
Mom's diarrhea stopped before they got a "sample". So,
late last night they came in and give her a laxative so they could
... well, you know.
Funny hospital story #2: I got to know a few of the
patients on West Medical-Surgical #4. A couple of days ago they
admitted a guy with an infected monkey bite on his arm. He is being
treated with IV antibiotics. Today he got an "arrangement"
of bananas from his friends. (It wasn't his monkey).
Old Folks Home story: James and I went down to dinner
at the obscene hour of 5:30. Thursday is Hot Dog night. We had chili
dogs and fries with ice tea. Then great big bowls of ice cream with
chocolate sauce and coffee. We charged it to Mom's apartment. They
live large here at the Old Folks Home. I guess if you make it into
the Old Folks Home - you really don't have to worry about nitrates,
cholesterol, saturated fat, sodium, calories...
I'll miss the Old Folks Home.
