omfg i brought mom home from hospital and she is running a fever. she has been, since this morning but she never told anyone because she wanted out.
she has three broken ribs, okay. and she’s oooooooold. ancient. ante-fucking-deluvian old (not kidding). high risk for pneumonia?? you betcha. at least she seems to be breathing okay and not coughing at all which is a plus. could be a just a virus, of course, which may later develop into pneumonia. och.
could i have left her there? yes i could have made a fuss. did i? no. do i know what to do now? well a doctor has been called for, which is fucking crazy if you ask me. i do wonder what the chances are that they send her back? can i do injections if needs be? yes, i might not be the best person to ask, but at a pinch, certainly. and most importanty: will i ever grow an executive override function? hard to say, it’s kind of difficult with parents.
hmm, so it’s a virus for now, so panic mode off, i guess.
