Ok, so I am laughing now, but I was not laughing then... true story... I dropped Granny pants at the outpatient therapy entrance, I told her to walk to the desk and check herself in while I parked the car, it took me a while to find a spot... I finally got inside and she is nowhere to be found... nobody at the reception desk has seen her (and I thought she was wearing a red shirt and a blue jogging suit, but I did give them a physical description of her, 4 9, 86lbs, blondish hair etc)... nobody has seen her.. I start to get that panic feeling like when a mom loses a kid in a grocery store... In the back of my mind Im imagining her wandering the halls in the hospital lost.. and when she gets lost, she just keeps walking... then terror strikes as I imagine her coming OUT of the hospital, looking for ME, and wandering out onto the marian joy campus.. or worse, Roosevelt Road... and she is a wanderer, she will keep going and going.. (I probably need to put a GPS chip in her neck or something)... So I ask at another reception desk, nobody has seen her, they call security, the lazy overweight security guard wants to drive me around outside to look for her, so I ask if they have security cameras, and cant they just look and see if they see her lost in the halls... hes hemming and hawing, my heart is racing, Im breaking out in a sweat, I go back upstairs to where I dropped her off and told her to go.. and the receptionist tells me she found her, she was walking all over and ended up in the pediatric therapy area and some guy helped her get back.. OMG, I was a basketcase... she is my mother... and I was only reminded of the time I got lost when I was 5 in a department store and couldnt find her and how scared I was, I hugged her and she was shaking and said, I thought you abandonded me here ... LOL... ok, mom, like Im just gonna leave you somewhere... duh... lol. Holy crap how the tables turned, I was totally the parent and she was totally the kid. Crazy how life turns out huh? Geez, I need a massage and some ibuprofen! Total role reversal, in a very concrete way. ~ and in other news they dont think its the BPPV (crystals outta wack in her head causing her vertigo, so back to the drawing table) ...
