I drove two hours to Memphis today to visit my mother in the hospital (She's there due to a complication from a surgery she had and has been there since November 10th). When I walked into her room, I could smell urine so bad my eyes burned and her stomach pump machine was beeping indicating something was wrong with it-turns out it was a leak. She was crying and said her pump had been beeping for over an hour. I called for a nurse and they said they'd be right there. They never came so I started checking the screen on the pump for a mute button becuase my mother had a headache. The nurse then comes in and starts complaining that I was touching the pump. I told her someone had to my mother couldn't keep listening to it beep. She and I got into it and she said she was gonna get her supervisor. I said "Yes, please do I want to know why mother is marinating in her own urine."
Needless to say, arrangements are being made for my mother to leave that hospital at the earliest possible date.
