"...it is not an inn, but a hospital, which is not a place to live in, but to die in." (Thomas Browne)

.....Yesterday RH+ and I went to a real movie for the first time in over a year, I'm guessing.  I really haven't had the motivation to see whether or not I could climb the stairs almost to the top where I like to sit.  I was also concerned about where I would be able to leave my walker.  We went to a very new shopping center built only about two miles west of here.  We were fortunate to find a handicap parking space which puzzled me because when you go anywhere around here it's walker territory, but I saw hundreds of kids coming in and out of this brand new movie theatre.  This indicated that very young parents bought homes in this area.  This theatre sells reserved seats only, and you can buy them on the internet if you choose.  We found out about that too late and in order to see "42" we had to sit in the third row!  It really wasn't too bad and we both got used to it.  The movie was great.  Chadwick Boseman played Jackie Robinson and Harrison Ford played Branch Rickey.  Both of them, especially Boseman, were first rate.  I never heard of Boseman, and I had to get used to seeing Harrison in a role very different from those he usually plays.  Go see it if you get the chance.

 

.....About 4:30am RH+ woke me and said she wasn't feeling well.  She was perspiring and she had vomited up some pills she had taken.  We called 911 and in 10 minutes three football-sized guys in blue uniforms came into the house and took all of Rho's vital signs as well as an EKG.  At this point she was more like RH--.  At any rate she told them that she did not want to go to the hospital, and I thought that decision was the right one for her as she was feeling better.  Whenever I go into the hospital for any reason it just makes me feel worse.  Besides the fact that they stick a needle in your hand and hook you up to an IV.  This makes it almost impossible to get to a bathroom.  A Haitian nurse then pops in every two minutes and sticks a needle in your vein somewhere and removes a pint of blood from your body.  Then your doctor orders every kind of test for you, and they only take you to the tests after they wake you from a deep sleep.  At 5am another Haitian comes in and wants to give you a bath.  So, my advice is do not fail to fail to agree to go to the hospital when the football team asks.  I'm a man of experience.
