hospitals stink

Hospitals stink! or did i say that already. for those of you in the know, which is no one who reads this blog....grandpa S was in the er on wednesday, and admitted. this is friday. if the darn doctors would show up when called, he would have been home yesterday. but noooooooooooo, they have to putz around for 2 days thinking about whether they want to see him, and if it should be at 10pm or not. he is still waiting today for 2 doctors. i was there in a chair for 12 hours yesterday and then died. what a massage i needed. i just wanted to be there to talk to the docs, cause grandpa is forgetting things.

the diagnosis is a probable TIA, or ministroke, no residual side effects now. and too quick withdrawal from a medicine that you get "habituated" to. they told him to stop it for a week before his sleep study, without warning him that he would have to wean down. grandpa in withdrawal. scary.

he was very out of it and confused on wednesday, a very very scary to watch deal. but now that they gave him back the med, he's ok.

kev is in the talent show tonight. he looks well. and sings well. we will go tonight for the real deal.

love you all
mom
