Where's Scotty?

As part of the hospital admission procedure, the admitting nurse asks the patients if they are allergic to anything.

If they are, it gets printed it on an allergy band and placed on the patient's wrist.

An elderly woman is admitted and asked if she had any allergies, and she responds that she cannot eat bananas.

Several hours later an irate son came out to the nurses' station yelling,

"Who's responsible for labelling my mother 'bananas'?"

Take care of yourself and each other, Scotty and Nancy, and try to be patient--no pun intended.

Well, we finally landed at home. They paroled nancy this morning. She has some pain, but is doing OK. She'll probably be much better after she catches up on her sleep. When they take vitals every hour or two, and sneak vampires into your room in the middle of each night to suck your blood, you do not rest. Six weeks of PT ahead of the old girl, but I'm betting she'll be off the walker in a week or less. Being married to me for 35 years toughens a woman!

I am not in pain and am apparently out of immediate danger. There is still great concern. I head to University of Michigan soon to try to find out how much damage has been done, and possibly what the cause is. It may be related to an earlier problem and surgery. Still tired, nauseated, and short of breath, but I am able to care for Nancy, and that's all that counts.

Once again, thank you for all the kindness, prayers, and concern for both of us. This would have been much, much harder without you! :thumbup:

If Nancy lays eyes on this post, you may be back in immediate danger. :joke:

Take care and both of you heal up real soon. :thumbup:
