Sunday and the panic attack.

     Have been hectic and ran out of saved drafts.  Deal with it.

     How's that for an opening.  Sunday was fine, did some food shopping.  Had a smoke in the backyard.  Weather was nice.  Brother in law had been to see my sister.  She was out of ICU.  Bad news was she was back in the room with the elderly woman. 

     My brother in law began his beer drinking.  I was skipping the lounge to make meatloaf.  Which was a good idea.  Primarily because we'd be surviving on the stew and meatloaf for the rest of the week.  That's when it happened............The phone rang.

"You have to come and get me out of here right now!  It's hot as Hell in here and I can't take it.  Come and get me right NOW!"

"What do you mean?"  I queried cautiously.

"Come and get me right now.  They've got the heat on in this room.  Every time I ask for the ac to be turned on they do.  Then she complains and they turn it off.  Come and get me I'm checking out of this hospital.  Do you hear me!"

"Okay."  this was a lost cause over the phone.

"Are you coming?!?"

"Well no, not if you don't let me get off the phone I'm not."  

"Just hurry."  She hung up.  I stared at my brother in law.

     He had the typical deer in the headlights look he always has.  Exaggerated by beer now.  I gave him the run down and asked if he'd like to come with me.  He declined, saying he didn't know what he'd do if he went.  Oh joy of joys to be me.
