Oh, sumi! That's no fun. But it's better to be able to get a diagnosis than have some mysterious ailment. I'm glad they've been so thorough and responsive.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

There will be meds.
I don't know why my head is so clear. I was so knocked out that I have no memory of the upper scope and I didn't wake up 'til the end of the colonoscopy. They even turned my bed around and it all happened in lost time for me. You'd think I would be more sleepy.

See, this is what I don't get. sumi has something (potentially life threatening) that needs to get checked, it gets checked, right now. Steph's dad needs something (potentially life threatening) checked, it can wait until Monday? All I can say is sumi has a much better health provider network than Steph's dad, that's for sure.

I know! I want to send him up to sumi's hospital!

He totally should be at my hospital!
Everyone here has been just lovely.
I am still on clear liquids so my breakfast is hot tea , one sugar, red jello and a lemon fruit ice. Fruit ice is, essentially, Italin ice. - so I had to have one.

Because books.
Better to be awake now than then, sumi! And I'm glad they're getting to the bottom of what's going on in there. Fingers crossed it's easily managed from here on out.
Tep, I would be furious, too, but it seems like that's the deal with hospital weekends anymore -- limited staff and a holding pattern. I've been through this with my mom and my MiL and my FiL. It's infuriating and absurd.

I'm side-eyeing it heavily, because people complain about insurance costs in the US. Well, leaving someone in the hospital untreated is a fucking waste of money. No wonder our insurance premiums are so high.

Exactly. It makes zero sense. Then they balance it by doing stuff like discharging new moms 36 hours after labor and delivery.

sumi, glad to hear the scope went well. Diverticulosis can be owie, so glad you went to the ER to have it checked.
I just don't understand making a 70-year-old man with a history of 5 heart attacks wait TWO DAYS to find out what is wrong with the aforementioned (not-well-functioning) heart.
This is so clearly true that it might well be worth your while to go the hospital today to advocate for your dad and get someone to start the tests today. Ugh. I know it sucks. Cody and his family always tried to have a family member nearby when his mom was in the hospital in part to make sure she had an advocate there with her.
