    You're very fortunate. Our local hospital 'lost' my MIL for 3 days. The computer glitched & they had no idea which ward she was in, or if she'd been discharged (hadn't been). In the end it turned out she'd been transferred to a cottage hospital 6miles from us. Which was nice.

    Regards,

    Richard.

    I have to agree about engaging characters & story. The fact they're so engaging is what makes it such a horrible thing that happening to them.

    And, the 'But for the Grace of God, there go I' sympathy effect - the storyline is so real & relatable. From a very parochial UK perspective one thing that makes the storyline less real & relatable is that

    1. There is more than one [overcrowded] hospital in the area the patient could be taken to, 
    2. Someone actually picks the phone up at the hospital (even if everything gets re-directed to maintenance) and
    3. The hospital has a patient record system that works (my MIL was 'lost' by our hospital's computer system for 3 days last year, and a couple of years ago I had an op and couldn't go back to my original bed for recovery after the op, because the computer showed it already occupied - by ...me...! Gaah!).

    However, that's a reflection of our chaotic hospital system, not your story.

    Regards,

    Richard

    I'm so sorry about your Mother in Law but I'm glad that it got worked out.

    Yes, I remember you telling of the harrowing ordeal your mother-in-law underwent.  That must have been a tough 3 days.  
    I live in Florida where there are a lot of old folks, and consequently a lot of hospitals. laugh I have not been hospitalized (I should say "yet.")  but my mother has been 4 times and in 4 different hospitals.  I am fortunate that I've only had good experiences.

    He might need to go back to the emergency room after that mid-air tackle.

    New ongoing series.  "Down Time" is about the goofy conversations Kurt and his buddy Nolan have when it's quiet at the station.

    Up to #61 position on the main list.  Steady progress up the charts.  Well done.

     

    I'm hoping the boys know that every puppy eventually becomes a dog.  And faster than most folks realize. 9-12 months.  I've been fortunate to share life with four dogs through the years. Just around  a decade and a half with each.  And generally,  More good times than bad.

    Even worse, when parents bought ducklings and baby chicks for their kids on Easter.  Fortunately, I think that particular brand of madness has passed.
    Good to hear from you again FirstBastion.  laugh
