Well I got moved into a new room at Transylvania General. They finished draining all my blood and replaced it with IV antibiotics.

My old room had a view of all the mechanical equipment on the roof and the parking garage across the street. My new room has a panoramic view of downtown Ft. Worth. Just beautiful...so then I looked down...right over the graveyard!

They have me in a TB containment room...nobody comes in the front door ...they go through an airlock of sorts...the room air is positively vented to the outside atmosphere. Every one that comes in wears a mask.

Breakfast this morning I had "decaffeinated" coffee....Phew. It tasted terrible...like rice burned to a crisp and then soaked in water.

BTW: It felt good to be shed of that heart monitor and constant oxygen monitoring.

You know if I really lived in W.S. I would sneak you in some BBQ and a Warm Flat Beer.
Get you one step closer to that View!

Who builds a hospital next to a boneyard? Trying to scare patients to death or give them zero hope?

I know right? WTF? Funny as hekk though. Some "Body" Had a real sense of humor.

Near me there is a Jack in the box Built right next door to a crematorium!

The Crematorium had already been there for 30 years! Still it is just Sick!

Ok he is not even Lying! John Paul Smith Hospital in Fort Worth IS Next to the Hebrew Rest Cemetary! The Medical Examiner in on the same Block!!!

People are dieing to get into that cemetery. Be glad you got a view from the top.

So I didn't see to the left of the cemetery in the daylight yesterday. In the dark this morning, I noticed the coroner's office, but couldn't completely make out the lettering. I was pretty sure it's what it was though, because it had two meat wagons out front.

Welp...my mom ended up in the hospital this morning at around 2:55. She had fallen 4 times yesterday after her nuclear heart stress test, same thing my dad had gone through. Not sure if the medicine had caused her to lose her balance or the lack of oxygen that doesn't go to her brain while she sleeps caused it. Either way, she ended up breaking her ankle the 4th time she fell, trying to get up to go to the bathroom. After I struggled getting her to the bathroom, my dad decided to take my mom's advices and called an ambulance to come get her. Sheriff arrived at 2:20 and the ambulance got here at 2:35.

My dad and I had got to the hospital at just after 8:30 and she was just getting up in her room. The irony is, it is right across the hallway from where my dad was at for his heart attack. This month and year is one for the books.

Chancer pretty much nailed it. You can see downtown, then the driveway, the cemetery, and the Coroner's.

 

[Kartorbust]

Any reason for the weird font below the pic? Is it just Tapatalk messing with me or wtf?

Like dead people, I'm pretty sure you're the only one seeing that.

 

[Kartorbust]

Says the guy next to the graveyard lol. Go figure. Might try to restart the phone to see what happens or might be in my settings.

Yep, my neighbor had it. He's fine now.
Here's wishing you a speedy and trouble free recovery.

Worst part about moving house is transferring services; no internet for over two weeks now...

 

[Poboy kartman]

Yeah, my mom has pneumonia. Just found out like yesterday or something.

I hadn't really noticed but my room got really hot...I couldn't see the thermostat from my bed, (much less reach it hooked up to an IV)...So a nurse adjusted it for me. Later, I checked it....it was set on 50°f!!! Jeeze....I'm a Texas man...not a beef cut....STUPID!

 

[chancer]

Tell them about global warming!
HEhehe

You do not want to contribute! set that stat to 78°.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Well.... my IV was hurting...and looks like crap....but I guess it's OK for a Jamaican.....she said I should drink more water?

I said maybe I should get a Pedialyte....she had no idea what I was talking about...

Some other pictures of the bruising where they jacked up trying to set up IVs...

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Dude, get better and get the he!! out of there.

 

[machinist@large]

YEOCH!!!! Doug, after spending ~2 months in the hospital due to abdominal surgery, I can totally feel for you about IV site's. Do us all a favor and get out ASAP!!!!!!!

If you aren't yet a long time member, Doug (AKA the "Poboy") and I are friends; that means that we'll razz the out of each other. This is not one of those times.

Doug, your neighborhood needs you to be that grumpy old man that the kid's aren't quite sure of, and their parents are totally pissed about what you're doing to their property values.... Honest, just ask them.........

 

[2SlickNick]

Ohh yeah I am not the best at Iv's but I don't fish around in there and cause all that.

But on the other hand, to get you better you need the IV medication. Like everyone else said, get well and get the **** out of there.
