Always learning

Blueman needed to get his toe checked so an hour after our expected departure time we were off. It was not busy so that was blessing number one. Blessing number two came when we found no infection in the bone. I expect I should say the real blessing us healthcare. Knowing we could drive 25 minutes and get this resolved with no coverage questions is a help.

So it annoyed me no end when pink lady entered. She came in with a man pushing another in a wheelchair. I like to play the "who are they" game. I'd decided the man pushing the wheelchair, Bob, and pink lady were together and wheelchair guy was bob's relative. Bob checked the shaky man in, bob went back with him, etc. pink lady asked if she had to go back and bob assured her she did not.

Five cell phone calls later, I had the poop about pink lady. She was married to shaky man. Evidently he had money in an account that did not have her name on it. She was going to drain it by 80% (cause she had bills) and one of her big questions was that she wasn't sure how she'd get the balance after he died. She was quite vocal about how he'd made her life a living hell and she described how just recently he'd fallen and knocked over a tv. She'd apparently stood over him and told him she couldn't help him up.

I'd like to think that as long as I'm alive, I'd help Blueman, who is a head taller than me, if he needed me. Now I know I'm not perfect. I didn't push him hard enough on the wound care and it could have been disastrous. But I'll always be there for him. I wanted to blister pink lady with scalding reprimands. My inner wildcat wanted me to just skip the talk and punch her in the tit. In the end, I relayed my fears to Blueman and he gave the authorities a heads up.

May God watch over Rick and Bob and keep them safe from the machinations of pink lady.
