We're outta here!
Of course, in hospital-speak, that means we have to get X-rays, a PT session, and discharge papers, which could take an unbelievable amount of time for them to suddenly call and want to do it all simultaneously. Then we'll have to find our way out of the hospital labyrinth, an experience that can be reminiscent of this 2-minute clip from the mock-rock-umentary "Spinal Tap," in which the band gets lost trying to make their way from the dressing room to the stage.
Wise to the ways of healthcare bureaucracies and mustering as much patience as possible, Nancy has dressed herself using the magical implements in her occupational therapy bag of tricks and is sitting in a chair, eating lunch and talking to her sister Patty on the phone about her remarkable recovery!
No doubt we'll be here a while, but it's several days earlier than I thought we'd be ready to go, so you're not going to hear me complain. We'll just hurry up and wait. And if I get tempted, I'll just remember the mantra from that movie - "HELLO, CLEVELAND! ROCK AND ROLL"
