30Apr23: catching up, slowly…

After several days thinking I lost my wallet, I had a “Moment of Lucidity”!

My first day in the hospital, I gave it to the nurse to give to Security to, well, secure it. I was practically asleep when discharged on Tuesday, forgot the wallet, then couldn’t find it the next morning, Wednesday.

Friday, it registered where it was, but it was too late to do anything about it. Then, Saturday, I had to wait till after dialysis to drive back to Scottsbluff to retrieve it.

Regional West Hospital is big. Security had a lot of places to check, they didn’t find it, and stopped their search till I recalled I’d been in Room 185. A short time later, one of the Security guys brought the missing wallet back to me.

Whew!

Andy’s plan for today. Mine, too.

This is too cute not to share again! Andy can’t help “cute”.

    • My error. It turned out the woman greeting visitors and I had an interesting conversation while security people looked for it. Regional West has a patient’s information guide that I feel is the best one for presentation and organization of any hospital’s I’ve been in, and the woman I talked with told me she was involved in preparing it! I finally got to let someone involved in it know just how excellent their work is.

    • A now deceased elder friend used to crochet beautiful 3-D rose blankets for residents in a particular nursing home near her. She soon discovered the blankets were going “missing”, and she suspected staff were taking them home. She went to the nursing station to complain, and told the head nurse she had placed a curse on all the blankets, and if they were not returned promptly, she would activate the curse. Miraculously, the blankets all came back. 🙂

    • Gad! “They’re just going to leave it so I’ll take it.” I can hear that now. I had a very expensive crystal vase stolen in a care center. i got it back by explaining to the director of the center it was to be returned by a certain hour or I was filing a police report. Someone liked it, just assumed my Mother wouldn’t have a use for it, but hadn’t bothered to ask me about it. From that point on, I made sure not to use a nice vase when a crap vase was available.
