So the 1st hospital adventure with mama...

And I thought I would share some of the adventure of being with my mama and my sister....now granted they are both sick but if it were not for the ability to laugh at ourselves we would have gone bananas.....The first day I got there I told my mom she looked like shit  icky....now keep in mind this is a 82 year young woman independent and really packed quite well....So for her to look crappy means something is wrong......Now my mama was brought up Christian Science and if you know anything about them they do not believe in doctors modern med's etc.....Now yes she had since converted to Catholic but old habits do not die ....so I say mama let's make a doctor's appt...no...mama we need...no...If you...no....But i think...no.....Alrighty then I will take your phone book into the bathroom and do it behind your back...Oh memories of the old days.....

Partner in Crime
Ok so off to the doctor we go and he takes xrays etc and comes up with a bruised rib...ouch ok that makes since..mama do you remember falling or hitting something to make this happen...Nope!..ok moving on ..now that was Friday and by Monday I am literally caring this woman to the bathroom....hum must be something more to cause her left side looks a bit well weakish, limpish not right so off to the doctor we go again with my big sister I refer to her as battle axe why you ask because she takes no shit rap from anyone...be scared be very scared.....Ok so we dump mama into the car and off we go back to the doctors and the doctor says..."Oh Jan you look bad" Ya think??????? So into the hospital mama goes with us in tow...

Now comes the fun part she needs CT and MRI's because I believe she has had a small stroke thus why she could not walk good and when I thought she was giving me the evil eye she was actually not able to keep one open....baby hints.....So like me she is so claustrophobic and so they give mama a little adavan this is a drug that calms you.....Not my mama they could not get her into the MRI and the CT scan well as the nurse said "There is a big fist in the CY and it is not the nurses"......SO back to the room the little fighter goes and man do not give my mom drugs ...first she asked me what the hell I was trying to sell her?....It's me mama...your little lani....then tells the ole' battle ax to move her space ship will be landing any minute...  ok then time to go and put this little fighter on 24 hour watch .....Oui then comes the transport to a specialist because she has a  tumor in her head thus the strange attitude.....Ok so I spend 24 hours with her waiting for the transport but nope no bed yet...Then I decide to go home and have the battle ax call me when she is being transported and I can make it to Loma Linda just as fast as they transport her....As you may well think by now I have gotten over my fear of driving since my accident funny how god works for ya when you do not even know......So i posted this just to give you a little in site into our first adventure there have been so many since and I am doing my catch up and letting all my friends be a part of yet another adventure....God Bless...Both my sister and my mama are grateful for my  humor lately because we all know now attitude and humor are the best medicine
