Please don’t ask why I’ve posted this particular video. Salute the girl in the white robe for not freaking out.
Okay: instead of keeping the patient in the hospital, you send him home. Sounds like it ought to be a good idea.
So we’re knee-deep in medicines, electronic doo-dads all over the place, a visiting nurse in the morning and another in the afternoon, couriers… It takes up tons of time and we find it increasingly overwhelming.
I’m not criticizing the nurses. They’re good people, hard-working, competent, pleasant: I have no complaints. I’ve been sick since summertime and I’m really, really tired of it. (“No mas! No mas!”) And it’s wearing out my wife.
The morning nurse has come and gone, here for almost an hour, there’ll be another one this afternoon. Couriers deliver my medications one pill at a time. (I’ll bet that’s hard to believe; but it’s true.)
It’s still better–mostly better–than being in the hospital.
Please, folks, keep those prayers coming. We need them.
