| | Hello dear friends...
Never fear, all is well, but I did get to visit the ER today. Apparently, I have some kind of nasty stomach bug thing and as a result have become somewhat dehydrated. Of course, the recent heat wave hasn't been very helpful in that regard, either. Anyway, this is not a story to complain about my illness, but rather to tell you of a rather hilarious occurance while at the ER...
We had a scheduled visit with my ob/gyn anyway to check out how little Daisy Moe was doing and all (which, by the way, she is doing GREAT!), so while we were in, my doctor thought it would be good to run some tests to see what was up. So, off we went to the ER to get an IV (we had already determined that I was dehydrated), but also get some blood work, etc. done. Upon arriving at the ER, a nice, little nurse led us to one of the beds. He went to go get the IV set up and almost immediately the electricity went off. Suddenly, a big, burly doctor with a kind, but stern face poked his head in and started rattling off in Turkish. When we said we did not speak Turkish, he replied with, "This is like a scary movie, no?" Having never been to the ER, I was kind of already thinking along those terms as I passed by screaming children and moaning patients. The loss of electricity just added to the effect.
Anyway, I started laughing. Maybe you just had to be there, but I thought it was hilarious...
Thanks for listening!
