TimesToCome

On my way back to the hospital this afternoon I stopped by Starbucks for fuel. The clerk behind the counter was trying to talk the customer in front of me into joining him for a week retreat of Hallelujahs and Praise Jesus and Ministering and all that. The customer wasn’t interested. He was however interested in women who drive BMWs. You see they are a man’s car and it should be illegal for women to drive them he stated. I’m thinking it’s a very good thing that Abraham’s God’s followers do not get along and that we do still have a separation of church and state. I grew up in New England in the 60s, 70s and 80s where you were Catholic or you were Catholic. I find the animosity between all these Protestant sects interesting. A local woman on a local forum explained it best to me. She said that each church pulled one page out of the Bible and created a religion around it. That seems to hold true for the churches I’ve run into down here.

The hospital room is nicer than many business class hotels rooms where we’ve had the misfortune to stay. DH went there from the ER and the hospital set him up with a staff surgeon. So while DH is checking email and what not I’m thinking. What happens if you check into a hospital, they line you up with a surgeon and you Google him and find out he is a dud? Do you have to sneak out of the hospital and check yourself into the next one down the road? Must you pull an escape out the window in your johnny? Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Our surgeon is fine I’m sure and it’s for the best DH couldn’t remember his name.

If should have to visit a hospital down here in Houston be sure to wear your winter coat, hat, boots, and bring mittens. I don’t think the temperature was over 50′ in any section of the hospital.
