As noted it was a fair distance from work or home. Place is about 100 years old. Literally right off of the parkway. Kind of cool about that. I liked the parking. It was all outdoors.
Not a fan of parking garages myself. Had to park in the farthest lot, still wasn't that bad. To get into the lobby was odd. it was an angle. Not a regular straight way path. She was in the oncology ward.
Of course these wards are not the most cheery places in the world. They also differ in nurse to patient ratio. Where as it is probably a 9 to 1 ratio on a normal floor. Here it was 4 to 1.
My thinking was that my sister would be the easiest. Not depressing, not very demanding. But I really have to admit, a few of the nurses just out and out seemed to resent her. Maybe it was because she wasn't quote in fact dying. I just don't know.
Up to almost the end of her treatments one Dr. kept wanting to send her to a nearby nursing home just to get rid of her. That would not happen. You see it would have to be within a 10 mile radius for free transportation. But it did make for a very uncomfortable stay.
Towards the end of her stay she started to peter out a bit. Loose coherence. That would eventually be explained.
Sorry on the clock now.
