One of the partners of He-Who-Knows-My-Lungs, stopped by for the daily visit. Besides the usuall Q & A's, I shared with doctor the converstion I had with the "House Doctor" night before last night. With his smile that would melt butter, he assured me I'll be discharged when he says and not to worry. My focus has now returned to my health and not weirded out about what my House Doctor said. I believe in my mind and Spirit that House Doctor had the best of intentions for me as a patient. He simply did not know me or my physical and medical history. He is a good and incredable fellow. I am pleased, thankful and am blessed to have had our Paths cross.
The nursing care has continued to be an extraordinary experiance for me here as every Nurse and every Nurse Tech has been outstanding with their treatment and care provided for the improvement of my health and comfort. Each one has treated me as Kinfolk or Relation. Such an honor. I have thanked each one and would like to state again just how thankful I am to have them as my Nurses and Techs. What a fantastic team! As a former manager, I know that it is every managers wishes, hopes, and prayers to have teams such as these I have been blessed with. Thankful I am, yes.
I would appreciate to once again acknowledge the Teams that have surrounded me with their care and respect. Transportation associates are so cool and always in proper clean uniform. The Radiology Department is super and quick with whatever exam as been ordered. The humour was bonus free medicine. So truly an asset to this fine hospital. The Respiratory Department associates are incredable and really care about the breath of their patients. In my case, me and my breathing...
...via a brief in house investigation, I have learned that the food is in fact prepared here in the Dietary Department. Yes, I have eatten Crow. Maybe the critique was harsh but the truth remains to be true. The food does not equal nor represent this fantastic hospital's direction as the "go to" hospital. There's something in my heart and mind that is at ease about the knowing that the food stuffs are prepared and touched by associates of this department for we the patients. And look, I realize there's no food like the food prepared by my bride and daughter...
...there really is no place like home and home cooked meals. So I sit here click, click, clicking these size 12 Ruby Red shoes saying, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home".
I still own what I have shared about the Dietary Supervisor and two Unit Clerks who displayed total disrespect to me. The Dietary Supervisor "shoulding" me with his bitter means of communicating with a fellow human being - patient. I am not a patient in here because I want to be in hospital. We as patients are in this hospital because our doctors felt it the right thing to do and the correct place for me/us to be. We're all human spirits here to get back into a healthier state of health and being. There is not an excuse for this lack of respect in any company's book that say's associates are permitted to speak out of sorts and or be rude to the customer - in this situation patient. I suggest that these fellow human beings recieve a follow up or an inservice review on how to communicate with folks. This hospital is too grand of an establishment to have a mighty small minority of associates blemish what is being created by this new ownership and management.
I have engaged my Crystal Ball and am able to see my being discharged within the next 24 to 48 hours. I am in a better place, my shoes fit differently and I sure do miss The House Of Seven Windows, my abode and sanctuary. Oh and how I do miss my family, hounds and turtles. I miss sitting with and laying next to my wife. I miss my computer too...
I wish to thank all of my family and friends, my Relations for their prayers, visits, telegrams, calls and e-mail. All such splendid free medicine. I thank you, Old Kindred Spirit for your gift of words in a new dictionary. Am eager to begin reading it very soon. It will in fact become my replacement dictionary.
So look, I'm beginning to feel I should lie down a spell as dizziness from the Meniere's is beginning to create an unpleasent atmosphere. I'll take a time out for a spell and I'll alway's know...
..."There's no place like home, there's no place like home". Toto were not in Kansas anymore Honey. Wait, Toto, did you just make this mess in my room again?! Keep this up and I'll let them flying monkey'stake your furry ass to you know who!
Blessed I am. Yes.
Love, peace and more peace, Mario
