Notes From the Comfort of the Emergency Room Visitor Chair.

8:00pm - 10:00pm

I'm sitting here in a tiny chair at the ER. One of my kids had a scare that his spleen ruptured. He's ok, we're waiting for the official results but the doctor thinks he will be fine.

I'm not so self absorbed that I think that my comfort is taken into consideration as a guest of the patient. But this is the second time this year that I've been sitting in an ER room with one of our kids and this damn chair was placed under the sharps collection box. I keep hitting my head on it and it's driving me crazy.

At this point I'm starting to think it's intentional and personal.

Of course that's not true. I'm just bored sitting here trying to pass the time.....

11:00pm

Still waiting for the official results....

They dosed this boy up with Benadryl through his IV. How the hell is he staying awake?

12:00am

My wife's still at the hospital with him, they should be letting him go in a little bit. I have to work in the morning and she's doesn't.

I'm home now, sitting in bed eating Taco Bell. I always regret getting it. It baffles me how they can make a taco so soggy but the meats still dry.

Eating Taco Bell always reminds me of an old coworker of mine. We were working in different places around the state and we would always try to find a Taco Bell to eat at to compare it to the other. We considered making a podcast out of it. But realized that would be stupid.

We did determine that all of the Taco Bell's in our city were way worse than all of the other ones in the state.

Its hard to say if that was worth eating vs just going to bed hungry.

It couldn't hurt for me to lose a few pounds anyways.

Time for bed.... hopefully tomorrow's notes aren't so eventful.
