This morning was extremely disappointing. After another night of "no food or drink after midnight", Stuart and I went to CMC-Mercy at 9:30 for my port placement. I will say that Mercy has been nicely remodeled since we last visited in the 1990's. Beyond that, I have nothing nice to say today. As we were beginning to fill out paperwork with the registrar, an RN stuck her head in and said, "There is a problem with Mr. Deets". Wait a second, I am Mr. Deets, can I participate in this conversation? She went on to explain that some of the equipment used in the port placement had been down since the early morning. A phone call would have been nice!
So, we proceeded upstairs, where a very uninspiring middle-aged nurse asked if I'd rather have a temporary "pick-line" installed instead. What? Is this a used car lot? I did make a couple phone calls to see if we could pull a string to get things done, but without success.
The port placement will have to wait until tomorrow...at CMC-University...just so I get the full tour of the "B" level facilities.
Wow, that post was cathartic.
