So someone has been in Emory University Hospital in Midtown Atlanta for four days now. One thing I can say about the nursing staff, doctors etc. here at the hospital I love them all. They are LIGHT YEARS better than hospital staff in the northeast. I mean MUCH better. A lot of the staff of nurses is from Nigeria – all lovely people and I mean it.

And this evening – we found out where they keep the coffee stash. You just have to go the nurses station on the floor and ask for the coffee packets. Now all they need to do is tell us where the half and half is and we’re good.

And I’ve extolled the virtues of the area – it really is something else here. I mean it really is. Some of my favorite artists tour through here regularly. Ever since I changed my location on Facebook I know get event invites for the likes of Erykah Badu, Deniece Williams, and the list goes on. Add to that I can’t wait for October – and be able to go to NetherWorld. And then of course there’s Dragon Con, and I hear tell that there’s not only an LGBT parade but a Black LGBT parade too.

And real estate – condos from $35K and up from there. For about $50K you can get a nice one. Homes anywhere from $50K up to $300K. Our friend we’re staying with I tell her she got a good deal on her place, a 3000 square feet, two car garage, a fenced in back yard, a what she calls her She-Shed. Plus a nice deck built out back too. For a little under $200K.

I’ve already lobbied our MIL, Someones Brother etc. to come on down. And in the case of Someone’s Brother – he’d be in 7th heaven down here – there’s some mighty fine looking women. Just because I’m gay doesn’t mean I cannot appreciate beauty.

So you had to have seen in the previous post. The Spouse (And that’s exactly how I listed myself on all the consent forms.) did NOT have a stroke. A comparison CT scan ruled that out today.

So they are keeping him for one more day because they want his BP to come down. I did show the doctor the tracking sheet I have for his BP, Blood Sugar, Pulse Rate, SP02, date, time, comments. I also mentioned his being confined to bed rest probably accounts for the BP rise.

The eye swelling is gone, the pain went too. Who knew the eye could cause headaches like that.

I will say though the people here in the Emory Midtown Atlanta hospital are top notch. Good people. Even the Doctors. It’s amazing compared to the northeast.

So as I alluded to in another post my spouse has been in the hospital ICU for two days now. They have now given him a morphine/tylenol intravenous shot. They’ve done CT, Echo-cardiogram, EKG, etc.

Several nurses have also done what I consider as checks for neurological deficit. Ask name, DOB, does he know where he is, can he push up with each individual hand/arm, or leg etc.

It’s like they’ve become fixated on the idea of stroke but where there’s no smoke, there is no fire. His main complaint has been addressed and properly diagnosed. His right eye – he lost all vision in it and didn’t know why. The eye presented very red – but knew it wasn’t pink eye, and doubted it was infection as discharge from the eye was clear fluid. Suspected allergy – but we were wrong. It was intra-ocular pressure because the blood could not drain from the eye. The Ophthalmologist figured that out without delay.

For this he’s in the ICU. Yeah I know – I didn’t mention they totally over-reacted to his blood pressure AGAIN. I’ve noted that with medical professionals. They get really panicked about BP. Which when you think about it, is checking for when a heartbeat is detected in the brachial artery and then when that sound ceases. I find it highly suspect.

I’ve told him over and over – he has the RIGHT to say no to anything he’s not feeling comfortable with.

So someone is in the hospital. Now we know what his eye issue was and that’s being treated. Now if only we could get them to stop thinking it’s stroke and start fixing the eye issue. Or stop panicking about the blood pressure – which I know how to both take readings of and how to record it and apply statistical functions to the data. And every time I take his BP on mean it’s 130/80. In the hospital it shoots way up. To the point where the panic. Even one of the new nurses is doing what to my eyes was a neurological exam but it’s pretty clear he didn’t suffer a stroke.

But the dietary choices at this hospital have me thinking of starting a new YouTube Channel. It’ll detail what’s wrong with a lot of things and I have yet to get a name for it. But for example he’s on a low carb, high fat, protein and veggie diet. What did they offer for breakfast – waffles, pancakes, etc. So that would be my first video – and I’ve got adequate ammunition to pack it full.

So in Montana a U.S. Border Patrol agent detained two women speaking Spanish. I told someone the reason I’m brushing up on my Spanish is because I just want a Border Patrol puke to say something to me and try to detain me.

It’s ridiculous – the U.S. has no official language. So I can just imagine the lawsuit that the ACLU is going to file. It ought to be a dilly. And I know phrases in Spanish, Italian and even a little Farsi. So I can wig a border patrol agent out.

So the Petulant Man Child in Chief (PMCC)is on the screen trying to defend his wall. One thing he said “Everyone wants to wall”. To which I replied “They should wall your ass in.”

If he really thinks a wall will stop the hordes of criminals crossing the border – note the sarcasm there, he is sorely mistaken. In fact the level of crime across the U.S. has been declining for years. Only the PMCC (See above) doesn’t read – not even Presidential Daily Briefs and so he just makes it up, or pulls it straight out of his ass.

Walls never worked. Need I mention one around Berlin? Or even the Chinese one didn’t help them against invading hordes.
