They woke me up early this morning, and they told me that I should start on getting myself ready. So, I did the usual daily routine. I brushed my teeth, used some deodorant, and I was ready. These people wouldn’t want me to eat breakfast, because I had to undergo a series of diagnoses again. So, the only thing I got left to do was to watch a movie. I eventually did.
Two hours had already passed, and still I hadn’t gone to my diagnostic tests yet. The nurses told me that there were at least six people who got ahead of my schedule.
Although I couldn’t eat a real breakfast, they gave me some Rice Krispies and a cold bagel to munch on.
Good start for a good day.
I had them disconnect all the cables they have attached to me and took a shower, washing off a day or two of funk, and that picked things up for me. If you can’t be home you can at least be clean. It isn’t so bad, I have a single room, and if I want to scratch where I itch I don’t have to look around first. But it isn’t home, if you know what I mean.
Last night, I had a shot through the gut. I thought they were joking, but eventually I figured out that they weren’t. I may have to know how to do this within a few days, which is actually not a good thing to look forward to.
My stay in the hospital is a rather boring experience. So, there was nothing left for me to do but check on my mailbox. Let me share what one of my emails contained:
Dear Big Kahuna,
I have worked nights for years putting myself through school. Recently several people here have had problems when they got off work. I heard about your site from one of the secretaries here who showed me a couple of things she got from you. At first I thought she was a little nuts, but then I went to the site anyway.
I checked the products you have in your website. I didn’t get anything for myself though. One night, I read an email you wrote about the Mace Pepper Gun. I guess, my instincts told me to get myself one.
It arrived a few days later, and I tested it out in the back yard. Then I started carrying it, and I have to admit it made me feel pretty good. Last week a couple of us were walking to our cars when two guys tried to rob us. I pulled the Mace Pepper Gun from my pocket and started firing. I hit both of these guys before anybody knew what happened. It sounded like cats being electrocuted. They were really screaming pretty loudly. The folks from work asked what they should do, and I said “Go home.”
And so, we left the two robbers on the street.
I guess we need to stay aware and alert all the time.
Keep safe.
Jimmy
Thanks for the letter Jimmy. I guess I’ll be sending you a Big Kahuna T-shirt soon.
