Here we are again. Not sure I know anyone who likes hospitals. Some display more adverse reactions than others, I suppose. But when medical care is needed, I am thankful for their existence.
My dad had open-heart surgery eight months ago. During those scary moments of the unknown, doctors and nurses were caring for him. Giving value to his life, even though they did not know him personally.
He is back in the hospital. Difficulty breathing led to the discovery of fluid in his lungs. No complete answers yet, but there is comfort in the familiar. Walking the same halls. Experiencing the same level of care.
No, it’s not where any of us would choose to be on this sunny Saturday. But I am grateful. Sitting here, talking to my dad. Excited to watch Razorback football with him this afternoon. Even if it is from his eighth-floor room at the hospital. Woo Pig Soooie!
i hope he makes a speedy recovery

Ahhh .. hospitals … with all Carole’s stays, somehow she always end on ‘Level Seven’ and I used to say her “you’re close to heaven up here”

Agreed, a hospital is not the first choice for spending a sunny Saturday. But thank God they and the healthcare workers are there for us when we need them. Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery.
