this afternoon I didn't go to work cause mum had to go to the eyedoctor who puts drops in her eyes. the drops make her see everything fuzzy so I had to come allong. we had too be there at 3:10 and ordered a taxi (mum has a special disability taxi service) at 2:00 so we could expect it between 2:00 and 2:30. so we went downstairs at the right time where we started the waiting game... the waiting game sucks an worst of all.. we lost!
at 2:50 the taxi finally arrived! but we had to pick up 3 more people! anyway we pick up the first old lady. driving away from there I saw someone we knew. an 91 year old woman behind her walker. so I said to mum: 'look it's grandma Franken!' mum looked up and waved at her. she smiled and waved back. 'I'll bet she'll be in the hospital before we are' I said out loud and mum started laughing. the old woman next to us turned her head and said: 'is she walking all the way too the hospital??' to make things worse mum had to explain that I saw being sarcastic! some people just don't have a sence of humour.
finally the hospital! I put mum in a weelchair cause the eyedoc is too far away for her to walk. as soon as she's in there I went to second gear and raced mum through the long halls. people gave some strange looks and some kids where laughing when this old very big woman (who looked a bit scared) went for an unwanted joyride..
in the waiting room of the hospital you always see something weird.. it can be some old nagging woman, a man who's scarder then he wants to be or... a sick person. well a sick person in a hospital isn't weird but this woman was. she was in a weelchair (nothing weird yet) and she was wearing a mask for her mouth, which means she has something we can't brath in or she really cant get any change of getting sick. nothing funny or weird yet but.. the mask looked like Donald Duck's beak! that poor woman..
in this hospital you can order a taxi back and the peopl who are getting picked up will have there names pop up on a screen with the time there getting picked up. it's about 30 minutes before the taxi arrives but everything went slow today so I wont be surprised if this takes a lot longer. but we had a little surprise aunt Mercedes! yea you heard me and yea it's her real name. it's family from my fathers side. she chatted with us for a bit. then my mum's name popped up the screen (complete firstname and the E from her first name) it popped up way to early but we didn't mind. taxi driver came and called out mum's name.. mum stodd up an so did an very old tiny skinny woman. turns out she had the same surname and first letter! how weird is that? anyway after about 10 minutes we saw our name, then we saw (about 10 times) the time go 3 minutes later. but when we almost lost all hope.. the taxi!! it was a slow drive hopme but er made it! who knew an eye check up would be from 2:00 till 4:45? next time I'm bringing a book!
