So Deep You Could Fall Inside

visiting the hospital
not a conscious choice

So after the whole thing with my leg I thought I was "Free & Clear", you know, like my blood parasites group. Was I ever wrong. Apparently living inside the hospital you're exposed to more than just the surgeon... GERMS. It all started with a small bump.

You remember the day of the open house? It was then that I had this pimple-like bump festering inside my armpit. I thought it was nothing for the Mother Unit told me it was nothing. After all, she was the one who disposed of it to begin with and wrote it off as a pimple-like bump. She also said it would go away on its own. As the days progressed it just got bigger and bigger.

It was deep into the night that I had extreme pain in my arm. I could not sleep, tossing and turning about, like some wacked out gymnast on drugs, twisted and contorted into a pretzel while dislocating some ribs. Thankfully it was 9 in the morning and my nightmare was over. I reached for the phone and called Dr. Jose -- he had an opening at 11:30. I checked with the Mother Unit, Blood was not working until later and she could take me to the doctor's office. She told me to ask Blood to take me, so I did.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOKE ME UP ONE MINUTE BEFORE THE ALARM WENT OFF!"

Good morning to you too... So I asked her, "You think you could take me to the doctor's office?. Of course she said no -- so I stole her car when she was in the shower. I got there and after an hour I was finally seen. You have an abscess he says and writes me off to the next guy. Meanwhile, I have to go home and give that bitch back her car.

We carpooled to the Mall where the Mother Unit works and we met up.

The Mother Unit took me to Dr. M and after he looked at my arm, he said that it had to be cut open and removed. At that point it hurt so bad that I didn't care if he cut off my arm. Long story short, I'm back in the OR and getting ready to go under the knife.

I remember my way to the OR, a first in my series of events, and it was entertaining.
