This morning I got the pleasure of going to have a CAT Scan of my Sinuses at one of our Hospitals.
Shockingly, I wasn't very acclimated with this hospital so I wasn't really sure where I was going inside.
I came in the door and went to the information desk and there was no one there. So I finally had to call on a help phone to find out what I was supposed to do and where to go.
So I go over to the registration booths which were basically hidden, and sit down with a distinctly unfriendly woman whose pants were so high I am pretty sure they were touching her bra. (Maybe thats why she was so unhappy?)
As she is dinking around putting me in the system, I look and see a Policeman with a young guy in handcuffs. And where do they come, but of course right next to me.
So now I am smack dab next to a convict and a police officer.
I start to get a tad nervous, and wonder what the convict is guilty of and if he is a violent offender.. I start praying that my register person will hurry it up before I have a chance to find out exactly WHY this fellow is a convict.
While all this is going on and I am beginning to sweat bullets from every pore on my body, an extremely weird and LOUD woman comes along and tries to arm in on my registering! Thankfully she sits down, but doesn't shut up. I start praying again that wherever she is going will nto be thre same place as me.
Finally I get done registering before finding out what the convict did, or being arrested myself for smacking the annoying woman upside the head.
I make my way back to the Radiology dept and turn in my papers and have a seatl. Not ten minutes later so I hear a familiar voice along the hallway. Inwardly I groan, and start begging God for her to walk past.
She didn't.
She cam eright into Radiology, with her elderly mother, and proceeded to ask me what I was watching on tv. I wasn't watching anything it was set to the radio station and had channel listings on the screen in black and white. You would THINK she might have noticed that small detail. But she didn't. I said nothing and she said Oh, good, I thought you were watching cartoons and then I would have to sit on the other side of the room... CARTOONS???!! I'm sitting here dressed in professional clothing and don't have a child in sight, why would I watch cartoons??!!
If that wasn't bad enough she sits TWO chairs away in a huge waiting room, and proceeds to take off her shoes and socks and investigate her feet, which have SORES on them, BLEEDING SORES!!
At this point I am trying to decide whether I should pass out or throw up. It was a toss up. Thankfully right as she hobbeled to the desk to ask for bandaids God answered my prayers and took pity upon me and sent the tech to come and get me and take me back from my CAT Scan. Needless to say at that point I could have hugged the woman. But I refrained.
The scan was quick and painless and I was done within five minutes. As I walked out of radiology and headed towards the main entrance but what do I see but TWO State Troopers!
I headed for the hills. I'm not sure what was going on at the hospital but I decided I had enough excitement that morning and I didn't want to find out!!
