A+ for this hospital

Filed under: Blog — maxima @ 10:37 am

I am at the hospital with my mom for her knee surgery.  She is the proud new owner of an entirely new left knee.  The surgeon said it was an “easy knee” to do because she was not overweight.  It was a complete success.  She just needs to recover from the surgery now.

This hospital gets an A+.  They have cookies(6 different kinds of fresh baked ones) and coffee…douw egbert!  And ice water and an internet room and couches to sleep on for those waiting.  They also have valet parking for free.  We just drive up and get out and go in the front door.  BUT the best thing in this hospital in the TP holder design.  Yes, the toilet paper dispenser is not installed at elbow level so that you have to put your head on the floor to get a piece of tp.  The dispenser is installed above shoulder level so the the paper hangs at the level of your hand.  Just swing your right hand just 5 inches to the right and…..walla, toilet paper.  It is not rocket science.  But somebody in Public-toilet-design finally got it right. )

    I am glad everything went well for your mother. I was half expecting a picture of the TP dispenser…

    Glad she is OK,
    I think too like mir you have to get that picture. To bad there is no way to get it on your blog from there.

    I do have my camera with me….I will see if I can’t get somebody to take a picture of me(from the waist up, of course)
    Just kidding.
    I did take a picture of mom with her purple/blue hair bonnet on just before she went into surgery. That was the last time I saw her smile. It is hard to see your mom in need and be so helpless to fix it.
    And I forgot to tell you that they gave me a coupon for a free dinner in the cafeteria. :) A+ for sure.
