My nephew, Dayton, tells people that our family has bad luck. Although, the comment makes me smile, I think I'm beginning to believe him. Everything that we have been through the last couple of years would make a real bad crappy movie-of-the-week on the WE network.
Last you heard, my Dad was getting kicked out of the hospital even though he was obviously not ready. He moved to a Rehab/Nursing home. But, that didn't last long. He went a little....um, "crazy", and tried to bust out (his words). My sister called last night, panicked, that he was going to hurt himself or someone else. Needless to say, he ended up in the ER of the same stupid hospital that kicked him out less than 48 hours earlier. He has a pneumonia and possible kidney failure. Fact of the day: apparently confusion and delirium are signs of a pneumonia. Huh, wasn't he confused when he left the first time? I hope he is not going through all of this because of some type of bad luck. But, really?!! I think we have had enough of the bad stuff for awhile. We're good. So, the powers that be, if you are listening....well, move along and give us a break.
FYI-For those that have been following along for awhile now, I am not making this shit up. I Swear!

i went to a doctor once with pain in my abdomen. he said, "i don't know what's wrong with you, but i do know it's serious, you need to go to the ER, and right NOW!"
so at the ER, they're like, "do you want pain killers?" and i said, "well, not until you tell me what's wrong with me." the doctor DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH MY ABDOMEN, even though i told him that's where the pain was. he LITERALLY told me to take some advil and come back if it still hurt the next day.
the next day, i was in excruciating pain, the the day after, ANOTHER doctor took one look at me and said, "you've got shingles."
oh, and the ER charged me $75 for doing NOTHING, which i refused to pay. the doctor's excuse? "it's you're fault for not getting regular checkups, i didn't have any charts to consult."
huh-wha-the-f*-? the doctor couldn't diagnose shingles because i hadn't been getting regular tongue depressor and blood pressure readings for $25/pop? excuse me, but WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING during those 4 years of medical school besides prescribing yourself xanax?
*sigh*
hope your dad's doing well.
