The Bad News (but not neccesarily bad) - My mom's in the hospital because of muscle spasm, irregular heartbeat,and as tested from recent tests - low on potassium.
She's wide awake, and everything, and i should say, she's a medical assistant. Well, anyways, she wants to get out of there badly. Isn't even there for a full day, and she wants to be home.
If she wasnt A ok, i wouldn't be flaming, but she is, so, i'm ranting.
One, she says she doesn't like it there.( the way she said it..)
Mom, when YOU spend TWO WEEKS in a LIFE OR DEATH situation, the first 5 or 6 days being in ICU with nothing to eat for 7 days but ice cubes and water that tastes like crap, and morphine does no good for you, and food is terrible and both lungs are deflated, have trouble breathin, AND you have needles in both arms, neck, and tubes going down your throat then, yes, i will agree with you.
But, the hospital she's at, lucky her, food is better than what i went thru, the bed mattress is actually thicker than the one i had, had a river view, etc., so i really dont see why she needs to complain. She only has one needle in her arm, not five, like I.
I guess, what i'm also trying to say is, you shouldn't take everything for granted, there's going to be a time and place when, you wont have what you want. And you're going to have to live with it. And for my mom, its only for a day and a half.
One last thing about hospital, they should really pay attention to their air conditioners. Some, have poor ac. i actually got phneumonia (spelling wrong??) just from that.
I know, i am most likely complaining, here, but its also a rant, and it needed to be said. And i'm sure some of you people have had similar experiences with hospitals....or not.:silly:
