Just come back from the Rehab, delivering more stuff. Good thing too, a nurse came in and handed the MIL some pills. She asked her what they were, and was just told 'the Doctor ordered those, just take them!!"

That's not how this works. Of course, no one has looked at her chart, or they would know she is allergic to opioids. About to give her a double dose.

 

No more than in the door here and the Charge Nurse rang to apologize. And so she should.  I also mentioned she has a pretty hefty autonomic insufficiency, and if they want her to stay on her feet, it might be a good idea to stop with the hypertension medicine. She didn't know about that either. And she is in charge.

 

That is downright scary!

Great, my mother's awesome nurse has to leave. Her husband got into a fight with their neighbor. They're both getting collared. And she has to go sit her kids before the cops take custody of them...

Oh, I actually am speechless - I think if that was me I'd not be telling people details 😲

 

No no we didn't grow the corn, Frank down the mountain did & I don't love the stuff enough to take a picture...

 

I didn't love the huge spider we saw either but it was freaking huge, had to get a pic of it! (Not posting that either, some poor soul would have a heart attack)

That's how awesome this nurse is!

Since last Friday, we've come to know each other very well. 

Actually, all of the nurses have been that great...

Snakes, we have nasty snakes. Poisonous ones. But the thing I loathe here are the cicadas. Creepy things.

The nurse's station is in the room, right next to my mother. I've been sitting next to them all week...

Oh I haven't used TPB in years.  We get capped at 450 gb a month and usually narrowly slide by.  Torrenting uses too much data.

 

Tell me you like Terry Pratchett too and then we'll be there.  

I mean he was inspired partially by Asimov, what's not to love?

 

that's sad, we have terrible wiFi but I can still manage to download some movies and shows here and there.

They get the shotguns out here

Id like to think Oscar learnt his lesson but he's not the sharpest knife in the block...

 

Cicadas are deafening, we're surrounded by them

funny enough, I love it when it rains here. we get to spend a lot of time indoors watching T.V shows, eating and banging. banging a lot. 

Awesome vacation.

Shouldn't she have a band on her wrist for her allergies that the nurses check before giving her anything?

Hes gone to the range to do summat with the sights getting ready for a shooting competition at the weekend 🏆

I almost read this in the voice of one of my relatives, but changed it to "Hes gone to the range to do summat with t' the sights getting ready for a shooting competition on at the weekend"

 

Almost perfect.
