update
Jojo learned to turn the water on the sinks on, at the clinic.
They have push down lever handles.
Bear, the Siamese can do that at home. I’ve kinda sorta trained him into not doing it. I think he just humors me most days.
Jojo is a clever cat. I’ll have to be a sharp look out or the cats are gonna run the show.
Who am I kidding? They already do that.
Thank you. I can already say that drugs I used to pooh-pooh are doing me wonders now.
You go, Jojo! He’s going to be a handful for sure.
Uh oh. Sounds like he and Jojo are going to gang up on you, once territorial hissies are solved.
Yep. I’m doomed.

I know just how you feel. The one and only time I was in the hospital, I was there for about a week, and my desperate need to be home was palpable. I remember walking down a long hallway that had a window from which one of the parking lots was visible, and I could see my car. I almost cried. I had driven myself to the hospital expecting just to be in the ER for a few hours at most.
Sending all good thoughts and vibes your way, Beck. Your arrival at home, accompanied by the intrepid Jojo, will be something to behold!
*Jojo update
The tech said he was calmer this evening. He has had a busy day it seems.
He went right in his kennel cage to eat and use the box.
She medicated everyone else and went back to look in on him.
She gave him his injection and he never moved more than an eyebrow.
I’m at the hospital. Of course I was missing lunch. I made plans ahead, this time.
I had the Li’lWrekker to bring food. Tacos and Tea.
I’m waiting for scans or some other assault on my poor head.
I have a crazy headache since my accident. I tell everyone, no one seems to care.
I was supposed to depart from this place today. After the X-rays, cat scans, or MRIs I’ll go back to the rehab and wait. And wait, and wait some more.
The head doctor will come over there. Some day.
Other than all that I do feel better. No alarms or accidents. Oh, crap. I just jinxed it.
I’m off.
Into the tube I go!
Goodbye, cruel world …
Let us know if they beam you to another planet or alternate dimension.
Hopefully intelligent life will be there.
Hey @Cecil_Adams I’m talking about you.
Welcome back from the tube!
Welcome back. Did you/they find intelligent life?
Good times, good times.
Funny tech ask me for knock knock jokes thru the headphones. I gotta million of 'em.
Cause, I kinda invented them.
ask the grandwrex, they’ll set you straight
Oooo! What’s the worst knock-knock joke you know? (The worst pun.)
Knock knock,
Who’s there?
Avon
Avon who?
Ding dong, Avon lady.
It’s bad. I know
I did 2 good things this afternoon. Yep, I’m bragging. (The Avon knock knock joke might cancel it out, tho’)
I had tests all day. Feeling kinda bad cause this meant I wasn’t going home.
I was out in the prison yard when I got back from the hospital. It makes me happy to get outside some.
Dot and Dash were there just doing their cat things and begging for treats.
Good deed #1…the cat bowl was empty
Not too worried about that. They’re kinda fat.
But the water was empty I had a bottle of water and poured it in. Them cats were very thirsty. I called the director lady and told her.
She will take care of it, she said. I’ll watch it. I may order an automatic waterer for them.
Good deed #2…
I continued to sit on the bench. The wasp nests are gone, yay!!
A hobo or homeless man walked by on the sidewalk outside the park. He called the cats and they went over. He stuck his filthy* hand in and gave skritches.
They were purring, obviously they knew him.
He called to me, I went over and gave him the treat bag. He fed the two.
I asked him was he hungry. He said “I’d appreciate a dollar or two.”
I told him I had no cash here. But I could get him food and bring it out if he’d wait.
I was gonna have to run the gauntlet of nurses. I wasn’t supposed to be outside. I’m not steady on my feet.
I snuck in got 2 ham and cheese sandwiches, a pint of milk and cheese crackers.
I got out there he thanked me over and over.
That ain’t all… I told the director about it and she’s gonna find some help for him. She and everyone he’s bummed money from, here just knew he was drunk.
I don’t think so.
Yay! Me.
Add me some karma points, universe, please.
*Sorry, I judged. Germs scare me
Remind me to tell you how much trouble I got in for going outside
