Journal Entry 051412-B: The University of South Alabama Medical Center "Emergency" Department!

Friend's,

Mobilian's and Citizen's of the Region.

I drove over to The University of South Alabama's Emergency Room this Morning after a brief stop at Bay Shore's Market at Hwy 48 and Hwy 181 for gasoline!

The "staff" at The University of South Alabama's Emergency Room was Fantastic just as they are at Thomas Hospital in Fairhope, Alabama!

They offered fast checkin and registration were friendly and courteous!

I only went because I had so much pain and discomfort last night in the left side of my face I had to take a tramadol for the pain that Thomas hospital had prescribed. It was the first one I had taken since picking the prescription on the "third" of May 2012!

The "staff" at USA Emergency asked me to rate the pain on a scale from 1 to 10.

1. Last night: 7

2. This morning a 4.

Note when I visited "Thomas Hospital" it was an 11!

I think it's been as high as a 12!

I decided to drive over this morning and leave Boo Boo at home.

I also decided to drive over "only" on the Clonazapam, Tramadol and Intuniv I took last night!

I took a 1/2 a Suda-Fed 24 with me in case my ADHD got a little more than I could handle!

The Chaplin "his first day on the job; not his first job he offered in our conversation" talked with me and we prayed together as he did with all the patient's waiting for medical attention.

I talked briefly with several myself and all were in "worse" condition than I or had family or friend's as stated.

I had some discomfort about a 4.

I got "antsy" about 10:30 and took my 1/2 a Suda-Fed.

It helped me sit still and I almost dosed off but if so only briefly.

I decided to ask the "very nice" intake Nurse about 1:00 pm maybe sooner but not much later how long it might be and she nicely replied it may be a little while!

I replied I might leave because I wasn't nearly as ill and come back if need be and if that would be "okay"?

Her reply was "yes" but she added two comments.

She told me they have a "community clinic" on Tuesday from 12-5 on the third floor and that if the situation warranted another visit to the "emergency" room that if I arrived between 5 and 7 am I could most likely get in the back sooner!

You may want to call the main hospital number regarding the clinic times in case I am mistaken!

I left drove to Hart's Fried Chicken near the "loop" or northern end of Dauphin Islabd Parkway and picked up Boo Boo and I lunch.

If you've never had Hart's Fried Chicken you haven't had Mobile Fried Chicken!

I stopped at Home Depot for a tube of caulking for the door I installed yesterday!

I drove to the house and had a late lunch with Boo Boo and we both decided to rest on the couch for a few minutes!

She was so happy to see me, have lunch and it was so sweet afterward's as she laid across my chest for a few minutes!

If only we had a women in our lives we would be healthy and happy!

The GulfQuest Mobile Maritime Museum in Downtown Mobile is coming along beautifully!

I would love to have a part-time job there and my blogspots enhanced to be more attractive to my or our visitor's!

I just don't have a high degree of confidence in Suda-Fed alone as helping me reach my goals in life!

It helps but to be successful I would need another medication by Shire!

Let me go for now and have a nice drive home or evening in general!

God bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!
