Wednesday

     I did say I'd post about it.  So what the Hell, it's only 4:16 Sunday morning.  Maybe I can go back to bed for a few after this.

     I was assigned to pick my sister up from the hospital.  She was happy to be coming home.  My plan was to get her settled and come back to work.  4 hours off, 4 hours or so on.  Oh the best laid plan of mice and men.

     It was 10 when I left.  Told my manager I'd call to let him know the situation.  The last time I picked her up she threw a hissy fit that I planned to go back to work.  This time she was far more reasonable.

     It was a cold wintry day.  Low 30's I believe.  Could not get a grand parking spot.  It was a good 5 min walk to the hospital.  Near a shuttle bus stop that never ran.  Got upstairs, surprised my sister.  She rang for the nurse who'd just been there.

     If you have any experience with being discharged from a hospital you know what happens next.  It takes an hour or two.  I'd say I was there by 10:30.  The papers were signed by 11:40.  I was walking back to get the car while they wheeled her downstairs.

     She asked if I could drop off a few prescriptions.  Also asked about lunch.  I told her about the options in the house.  Which seemed good to me.  She passed.

     Got her home, went to get Wendy's Portabello Mushroom Bacon Melt.  Why on earth Wendy's, the only fast food chain I ever used to eat, did that is beyond me.  On and they changed the role too.  Seems every burger has bacon on it now.  UGH!  To make matters worse, after every order they offer a 4 piece nugget for .99.  I mean really?  I just ordered 2 sandwiches and a small fry.  Do I need to eat more crap.

     She loved her burger.  I was very unimpressed.  It was a mistake on my part to have it, nutritionally I mean.  Sodium content was 1,450.  I'm on a plan for 2,000 daily.  So yeah stupid on my part.  Anyway.

     Just got her set up on her cpap machine. It's a machine for sleep apnea and such.  Now my brother in law had some issue with filling the tank over the weekend.  I know my sister had some previous issues with it.  So of course you know.  It went on, no lights, after 15 seconds, beeped continuously.  

     I went straight for the number on the machine.  I'm not a total idiot.  It was 1 in the afternoon.  Maybe I could get some action on it today.  I did.  Woman told me they'd have someone out there, just couldn't give me a time.  So my day was shot.  Called my manager and explained the situation.

     Did some stuff, made meatloaf.  Kid came in around 5.  Now they take their oxygen shit seriously.  24 hours service.  CHS is good stuff.  I remember when we lost power during Irene back in '11.  Dude showed up at midnight, but he showed with a couple of oxygen tanks.

     Machine got replaced and all was well in the world.  That's it.  No really.
