When it rains, it pours.

Turning 34 was sort of blah and that was a bummer, I'm not sure why I don't vacation on Hawaii every March. So fate stepped in to ramp up the action in my life. March 25th, I left the house without my mobile phone and when I went to pick up Brandon at preschool, I found him wiht a broken arm. Again. This is the second time in 6 months that he broke his arm and the second time that I forgot my phone. It was an interesting trip to the ER. I had both kids on my own and had to hold down Brandon while they adminstered his pain meds. Which left Emily to scream in fright while Brandon screamed in fright. Meanwhile, I was laughing as usual at the absurdity of the situation. What the hell else can you do? Monday he got his new cast and the Dr attempted to push the bones together again without any pain medication. This episode made me sick to my stomach and yet, Brandon was a champ, he calmly said that it hurt a lot.

Yesterday, Grandma got sick and now has to have a gall bladder removal. So last night I headed to the hospital to see her and wait. While in the room of 3 patients (whoopee, neighbors!) my aunt almost tripped a nurse carrying a large bucket of urine. I warned her, even grabbed her and thankfully nothing happened. To top off the night, the surgery was pushed to today and so my mom and I went to say goodnight to Grandma. The hallway was blocked by a gurney, mind you it was 11 pm, and I decided not to squeeze by, so I remained in the foyer. Wise decision, as the gurney was carrying a deceased patient. The nurse commented to the security escort that she did not like going to the freezer. Yeah, you think?! So that was my exciting week, 3 visits to Kaiser, another today and many more to come in the following weeks.
