Just returned from hospital. They're keeping her another night which really REALLY pisses her off (if you can imagine a 79 year-old pissed off head cheerleader0

Sunday skeleton crew. We got there at 10:30 and she'd had nothing to eat (you ORDER via the telephone and via menu what and when you want- my mom can't remember that!) so we got her food and as soon as it came up they took her to MRI. It being Sunday, the MRI won't get read till tomorrow. She no happy lady. No happy at all.

They didn't have a HOH listing on her dry erase board, the freaking idiots and you could tell her anything, like, oh, hey, your house just burned down and she'd just smile and nod like she knew what the eff was going on. I went up to the nurses station (they were having high level discussions about the movie Magic Mike so I can see where they'd be too busy to LOOK AFTER THEIR PATIENTS) and said, "Hey, you got a dry erase marker?"

Startled nurse, "Oh, yeah...."
hands me marker.

I write in big green letters VERY HOH!!! and then I handed them her POA/living will papers. They knew not to fuck with me then. Really, though, come ON. I know it's Sunday and you hate working and fuck this weekend crap but DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!
