Mom is back in the hospital after a one-day stay in a rehabilitation nursing facility (ie a nursing home), where she contracted an infection instantly and had to be ambulanced outa there. My sister goes over to the hospital this morning to meet her, and mom’s all wacked out sleeping. She wakes up and starts relating the story as my sister is dialing me . . .

Mom: and they didn’t even have a walker I had to use the roommates walker and she was pissed and she says right off “I’m just going to warn you: I wake up at 6 a.m. and go bowling” and I said well god bless ya, you must really like bowling and she just hrrmpmed . .
Sister (sotto voce): I just flew in from L.A. and boy are my arms tired . . .
me: [giggle]
Mom:
and then o my god the food what was that even? Mcnuggets??!
Sister: I got a job at a explosives factory but the assholes fired me ha ha
[gigglegigglegiggle]
Mom:
Then the nurse comes in and takes the lady’s walker even though she’s in a wheelchair now so I don’t know why she was so upset but I guess she paid for the damn thing so it’s hers even if she can’t move then again how does she bowl from a wheelchair come to think of it
Sister: a nurse and a cranky old cripple walk into a bar . . .
[lol]
Mom:
Stop! It was hell! hahaha
Sister: tap tap , is this thing on?
[LOL]
