Can they deliver to hospitals? I literally don't want to walk down to the lobby to meet the driver. I'm mostly whining because I am not a graciously self-sacrificing wife. I hate this shit. It sucks.
I wasn't such a graciously self-sacrificing mother, either, so I feel you on this (and still occasionally beat myself up for it, because inner-critics are always workaholics). I predict two things:
1: your lack of graciousness looks/feels worse to you than it is
2: whether or not #1 is true, the world will keep spinning
I know you know this, but it comes down to spoons, and you didn't have the spoons for dealing with a breadless sandwich, and parking bullshit, because your husband just had heart surgery. Ass them in the ear, anyhow. (In this case, I guess "them" is the problems loitering at your empty spoon holder.)
How's the patient, Tep?
OK, yet another reason to appreciate the hospital we usually go to -- you can totally get a "guest tray." And the food is pretty good.
I am starting to think some hospitals train their staff not to point out that this is an option (when it is). I didn't know until after C was home from the surgery that I could have gotten a guest tray.
He was hospitalized for three separate one-week periods between July and October, yet no one told me or once alerted/reminded me. I finally spotted it on some of the literature I thought I'd thoroughly reviewed at the time, when I was deciding which paperwork could be culled.
