Well I have been banned from the Sandbox so I will put this here as this topic is dead as a doornail so if I get banned from here no loss.
I spent most of a day yesterday at the local hospital as my sig. other was having physical therapy, she fell and fractured her shoulder and a stress test for upcoming knee surgery .
Most of the place is closed to the public, and most of the entrance doors are locked. (It is an old large long hospital with many additions seemingly added by a drunken Irishman so it is long)
The door by the handi-capped parking was locked so maybe if an old person with a cane stood out there and beat on the door long enough some might risk discipline and open it.
I was there for almost four hours so I wandered the hall and joked with nurses and other employees about asinine this was.
One nurse said she agreed as if I had it, now she would get it, etc. etc. plus when I went to cafe and got some pecan rolls, asked if the person who made them did so in a hazmat suit and if it were better if threw her the money from six feet away.
The only one who approached us when we entered was a dude asking if I wanted valet service.
I took her in a wheel chair to the correct part of the place and after wandering for a bit I was reading a novel but after another bit had to lay on the floor, no sofas , the chairs in this waiting room/lounge I think were designed so you needed physical therapy after sitting in them.
After a couple of hours I got tired of that and went to the desk and asked a female there if there were any public computers not off limits. (Most lounges for persons waiting for some one, were closed )
She said there were two televisions, back over there.(there were two odd small rooms way back in the corner of a corner where I found a television with a remote, so apparently computers some how spread the disease but a television remote handled by x number of people is OK.
Then the chick said my shift is done if you need help you will have walk back into the therapy rooms and speak to some one.
Now this was a big waiting room/lounge and it was weird being there all by my self, as even when I was reading while laying on the floor, the desk person was not at the desk.
Saw one doctor who went to the coffee machine close to where I was laying on the floor; he asked how it was going I said, anything is better than sitting in those chairs.
He laughed and went on his way.
Oh yes, her surgery for a new knee at the hospital April 1 has been cancelled due to the virus but they will see if they can do it at one of the clinics instead.
What is a little pain and misery compared to heeding Chicken Little and the Sky if Falling.
