To make a long story even longer....and to add some drama to a very
insignificant event - we had both dogs fixed yesterday and they
weren't to eat until after 9:00 pm last night.  I was just coming in
from feeding Toby, and gracefully fell UP the deck stairs and ripped
the nail on my big toe partially off.   It couldn't be taped down
properly and there was enough of the nail bed still attached that was
causing problems..  So off to emergency on a Friday night in the city.

The most exciting part was we went to an emergency department at a
hopsital on my end of the city that's in an 'interesting' part of
town.

Kevin was sitting there with me when a fellow smelling of alcohol came
up to Kevin and asked him if he had any morals and what did he think
of Mormons...;).  Luckily the triage nurse called me in at just that
moment.  Kevin told me afterward that he knew the fellow very well,
but it was because he had arrested him numerous times in this state
and lodged him in the police hotel for the night.  Apparently "Albert"
gets quite violent when he's had enough to drink.

Brian (who came along to keep us both company) told us that after we
had gone, the maintenance people turned off the power and only
emergency lighting was available.  When the lights went out "Albert"
began hollering wondering who had the remote for the TV....finally
someone had to explain to him that the room was in darkness...no one
had turned off the TV.

Our health care services people deserve a pat on the back, they have
to deal with people like this on a daily basis.
