"22 hours, for a 10 minute visit!!"
June 28th 2007 14:43
11 hours up, only two days to stay because 1. we have ALOT of animals and hubby was already set up for a double starting last night, so animals, especialy 7 puppies, neededme, 2.i had to get weighed by july 1st or the whole thing would be off for good with the weight loss surgery.
over six hundred dollars for this trip and i only got 10 minutes with my mom!!! It was the worst timing ever, to go. As soon as i did the 11 hours to The ST.Louis area to see her, she was switched and in route to Barns Jewish Hospital in ST.Louis, where maybe she'd FINALLY get the care she needed. So the first night, i couldn't see her at all. Instead i picked up my other two kids that had been there since the end of may visiting their father. We ordered pizza, swam, and hung out. The next morning we got dressed and headed to ST.Louis to see my mom. got on gloves and gown since she has blood poisening AGAIN. Got in to see her and they show up to take her for CT scans. I help her drink down her liquid that has to be drank, tell her we'll go to the cafateria for some lunch and come back. 3.5 hours later, they still don't have her back, so i go to the gift shop, buy her a 24 carot gold, glass blown healing angel. pay for it, walk out the door to the hosptal hall, and when Kaitlyn tries to hand it to me i'm shaking, and drop it while i'm walkiing, and then kick the poor thing breaking her wing off. She is still holding the ssign that says "Good luck with your surgery". <grins> They do exchange it though. Go up to see if she is back and they say it'll still be a few more hours.
ok, i'll have to finish this. Time to get weighed. I'll be back. Tammy

Then I'm sure you'll have some funny hospital tales to share with us when you get back on your feet!
