Rollercoaster Ride

This morning, Mama woke with excruciating stomach cramps -
almost as bad as when the stomach flu began last week.
After taking the meds and a nap, she seemed much better.

Vince took her to see the Urologist for her post-hospital checkup this afternoon -
it was originally scheduled for next week, but Cousin Doctor recommended
we move the appointment as soon as possible after the problem
with the dipping blood pressure.

So, what started out as a routine checkup
has now got Mama & Vince sitting at Hospital Admissions
waiting for a bed.
No beds, apparently.
And so, the long wait continues.

The Doc is concerned with the creatin levels in her bloodwork.
Might be connected with the diarrhea, might not.
Given how long her stomach issues have dragged on,
he wants her on antibiotics.
So, she will be admitted for observation
(read between the lines: they don't know what's wrong with her)
if, that is, they can find her a bed.

She is a little pissed off
but Vince thinks she's also relieved
as there is obviously something wrong with her
which hopefully can be fixed.

And so, we continue to wait.
