mrissa: (grandma)

Fairview Ridges is a nice hospital. It is a good hospital. It is pleasant and clean, and you see the staff washing their hands all the time, and the cafeteria is not too bad, and there is a Granlund sculpture out front. It is very near our local Vietnamese place of choice and also not too far from a big chain bookstore, a SuperTarget, and other conveniences. It is reasonably near us and even nearer my folks. They are the people who verified that I did not have a brain tumor. They are the people who figured out what's wrong with [livejournal.com profile] timprov. As hospitals go, I couldn't ask for a nicer.

All the same I do wish we could keep my grandma out of it for more than a couple weeks at a time.

I hope she gets to come home again very soon, with a reassuring prognosis.

Indeed, I hope she is home soon feeling much better.

Seems like. We'll know more Monday.

Saying many bad words on your behalf. #$@!

Hugs and prayers to you and Grandma.

Oh, goodness. I hope they spring her soon.

I very much hope your wish comes true. Thinking happy wellness thoughts at your grandmother, and patience/sanity/non-anxy thoughts at you and yours.

Or maybe even have lunch at the cafeteria. I'm thinking very healthy thoughts for you guys.

Weh! :( I'm sorry.

She could visit someone else there, if she insisted.

I'm sorry. I hope things go well and you get to keep her out for a good long time after this.

That's no good; I hope she's home soon. If it should get to the point where you decide to bust her out, I'll be the guy who fakes the attack of appendicitis as a distraction.

Grandma can give you tips on how it's supposed to look--that's what's started this whole "we think we've got this under control now; no wait, maybe not" cycle of hospital visits.

Uff da; a bit on-the-nose there, then. Sorry about that.

Don't worry about it. I was not deeply emotionally stricken.

Best wishes for her and hopes that she's home soon.

Maybe you should check to see if there's an especially cute male nurse, or something...

Damn. :(

Hope she gets out soon!

I bet they'd let her work as a volunteer; there are always people who need visiting, small sick children who need someone to come and bring them a stuffed toy and tell them stories...

It would be ever so much easier on everyone.

I do hope she's able to take on this job soon, without further need for people to come and visit her.

Indeed, that's a far preferable solution.

Joking aside, one of the things that's been bugging Grandma about being sick this long is not being able to do her volunteer work, which she loves.

It's so hard. Best of wishes to you and yours.

Oh no!

It's good that it's a fine hospital, which makes being there even as a patient less bad; but still. Supposed to be done with that for a while here.

Given the choice between "nice hospital" and "not nice hospital", yes, Fairview Ridges is a good choice...and we'd all prefer "nice time at home not being sick".

Continued best wishes to your grandma.

I hope so, too.

Oh, boo! I'm so sorry. Nice hospitals are all very well when needed, but I do feel they should all fall into redundancy, at least as far as grandmas are concerned.

Oh, dear. I hope she's well soon.
