Er's, bad nurses and a police officer

well it began at 11 am in the er and ended seven hours later! Oh what a day! I took my dad to the hospital to make sure he was not having a stroke (he didnt - Thank you Jesus!) and the drama began. As i checked him in they took his vitals (one of 958 times!!) and then a nurse who had THE PERSONALITY OF A FLAT TIRE NOISE AND ALL!!!!!! came in to attend to my dad could not, would not or what ever give us any information at all as to what in the heck was happening - two hours later - she come in to take his vitals again, still NO INFORMATION. So I "fired her" and they got me another nurse (which i would find out later was an angel sent by GOD!). About 4 hours into our luxerious stary at the local ER, me and my dad began to get very very antzy. They come in the room with a wheel chair to go and take a chest X-Ray, which would have been great, IF HE NEEDED A FREAKIN CHECT X-RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What they ordered 4 hours earlier was a CT scan!!!! So i am hot, no TICKED! at this time. I venture down to the nurses station to find out what was up. Now it gets fun!! A barney fithe, opps.. I mean police officer approached me with a snarl, hands on his gun and a slite strut. (this is where I was VERY, VERY WRONG AND I HAVE REPENTED OF MY STUPID SIN SINCE) i looked at him and asked him,"what are you looking at??" I turned to go back to the 2 inch x 2 inch room and i knew he was following me. Why, you may ask? Well because he was screaming at me! I turned around and said, "Sir, I am very sorry - I really am - please forgive me its been a long confusing morning for me and my dad". He then said " Yea and you better shut your mouth or I will arrest your smart ellick butt right now" I said (as he was about 3 inches from my face) to back off - he precedes to call back up. In walks two other police officers twice my size - and I am a big guy. So i just shut my mouth and let him continue to spew out a bunch of crap. The result?? Well the "fine" police officer was wrote up by the charge nurse, his supervisor and they want me to fill out a report. I wont do that, I think he understands and I thank God I was not falsely arrested. As a matter of fact I made a friend out of the deal. I connected really well with one of the other police officers. lesson learned???? Well, lol its very true that patience is a powerful virtue and I can see why it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Yep, I am a jerk and God said I was acting like one. So, hopefully the next time I am in a deal like that hopefully I can think through the situation before I act through the situation. Like the comedian Steve Harvey said AFTER he came to Christ, "He ain't done with me yet!!" Just a thought.....

TEXTING

Its amazing..... PC's were all the rage 10 years ago. Then the laptop came on the scene. Now? Well its the smart phones. From anywhere a person that has one can post blogs, such as this one, upload pictures, check email, instant message and of course the most popular, text. Its funny, my oldest son who is 16 has "unlimited texting" on his phone. For 20 bucks a month he can text until his fingers turn blue. I was with him and some of his friends a couple of weeks ago (yes he let me go !! LOL) and, get this, they were not talking, they were texting!!!!! then I looked up and saw about a hundred other people doing the same thing. Then something really funny happened. i saw a young man walking out of the door and he just about triped over a lady because he was texting. He didn't miss a beat, he said (with out looking up) "sorry bout that" and kept on texting away. Recently i had to take the phone away from my teen (another story) and what I have found out is amazing. he has something to say!! He actually talks. He is creative, conversational and listens really well. So, i have told him that when he gets his phone back that he will look up and see the world around him, because it will pass you by while you pass it by texting. Well i guess i better close this blog, i have a text that's coming in. Just a thought.....
