Day Turns to Night

This is different.  I ended up spending the night at the hospital.  Merril knows how things work.  I had rung one place seeking accommodation and was told they were full.  They did not even have a stable they could put me up in.  No surprise there really.  Not many inner city lodgings have them these days.  I also rang another place and it went to message bank.  The hospital provided me with a fold out bed.
Merril had a replacement stent put in.  We are actually both really pleased with the outcome.  Merril has no more pain and question I has as to why this was happening were answered.  So often Merril was freezing on a warm day.  I knew there was a problem somewhere and it was located.
I did come to the hospital thinking I would take Merril home yesterday after the procedure.  The fist sign I did not expect was that Merri was booked in for 2pm after having to register at 10am.  She actually was worked on at about 4.30pm.
Then to see her in a bed wheeled by made me think “I don’t think she is coming home tonight.”  I was right.
Fortunately I had been to the cafeteria to get food.  But I do think they may be in cahoots with the hospital.  I had a BLT and toasted ham, cheeze and tomato sandwich and 2 coffees and it cost me over $33.  I decided I did not want a sandwich there when I saw it was $9.80.  So my thinking is the cafeteria and hospital are sharing the take.  I am thinking that the cafeteria thinks people here may be on their last legs, so they want a cut of their hard earned and inheritance.  They may have decided and are working towards a sandwich costing me all of what I have put away.
But I am glad we now have an answer to what has perplexed me.  Sometime today I anticipate we will be home.
