Two Grumpy Patients at the hospital

What a nightmare it was yesterday at the hospital ward.  Two ignorant obnoxious grumpy men in their 60s or something like that kept attacking Craig verbally fucking Americans this and fucking Americans that.  Very rude and they kept attacking me as well how I was a wanna-be Irishman.  I kept laughing at their bullshit.  I do think its uncalled for with their verbal abuse, all over a window which Craig opens and the other one immediately closes it.  The guy called the nurse to close the window and she asked if it was okay and we both interrupted her that he always wanted it to be kept closed. 

The other patient thought they could get Craig kicked out of the hospital because he is American and how they pay their taxes which one called out so we could hear and deserve to be treated.  It wasn't like they weren't being treated to start with. 

It turned out that the nurses had to resolve it to the manager and had the security guard come with her into the ward.  I let Craig talk out his feelings to the manager.  They don't tolerate verbal abuse and treats everybody with respect.

The two grumpy patients were transferred to another ward. within a couple of hours. 

GOOD RIDDANCE

Its Tripping time



He had an appointment last Tuesday with Galway and luckily he slept through the ride but by the time he got to the hospital there, the ambulance went for their lunch and he was getting hot and sweaty being strapped down and they couldn't find his name in the computer and he went into panic mode which wasn't a comfortable feeling for him.  They ended up giving him a room where the appointment was being taken place.

Monday he is suppose to go down to Dublin for a couple of MRIs.  And I do hope everything goes well there because if he goes into panick mode again like he did down in Galway then they may not take him because of him panicking and it would just be a waste of a trip.  That's why I hope they give him something to calm him down.

Yesterday he went for MRI upstairs and he couldn't lay down because of his breathing and he started to panick.  So he will have to do it sometime during the week.

Galway cancelled

Well Monday we had to cancel our trip to Galway due to Craig having breathing and weasing problems at 3.30am in the morning.  It frustrates me when every time we have to go to the hospital it has to be in the middle of the night for some reason.

We were suppose to do a stay over at Galway in one of the Bed and Breakfast because it takes about 4-5 hours to get down there from Letterkenny.    They had rescheduled for Galway for Tuesday again.  So if he is still in the hospital, which I think he just may be, its their responsibility to get him down there and back as a patient.

Wow, what a week it has been.  All the tests were coming out clear.  He has been in the hospital all week and they are still trying to figure out why his legs are swollen.  They are checking his heart as well so he has a heart rate monitor on him.  They did run a test on his heart and there was an extra beat there.  Maybe its a good sign they found something there.  Who knows.

I have been going back and forth to the hospital like crazy and I don't know how I could do it anymore because it costs money on taxis to get down to the hospital and back home again. 

What I think might happen is that he will stay for the weekend and also on Monday as well so they could drive him down to Galway by ambulance or something for his appointment and bring him back up again.  Afterall, it is their responsibility to make sure that he is back to Letterkenny Hospital safely.
