Hot stuff

The patient is having some fever and pain, so we're back at the hospital for a time.
Andy came back to Seattle for the 3rd time in a week so he could bring the other children back home for a while.
Yesterday, he and Kelly took the fishbowl station wagon to get new brakes. $700, ouch!
Kelly was upset because they sat for a few hours at Les Schwab, then when they came to visit us at the hospital, they had to wait another couple hours for the other children to get back from their summer camp.

Being inpatient is not too awful, it's just not fun to watch someone have pain.
The most annoying thing about being inpatient is when we're in a double room so no one except the patients can use the room bathroom.
So, parents and visitors have to walk down the hall to use the bathroom.
The walk isn't such a big deal, but it'd be nice if the door/walls were more insulated so bathroom sounds (not mine of course :) ) aren't heard outside.
I know, weird thing to bug me, isn't it.

Today I'm grateful for modern medicine, medical teams, and medications that help relieve pain and symptoms.
