Mom spent the night in the emergency room bed, the fires have caused crowding in the hospitals. Also, short-handedness because of doctors, nurses and technicians calling in sick.

Less wind today means more smoke locally since it isn't being blown away west. I woke up and spent some time coughing up bloody phlegm. Apparently had a nosebleed in the night.

Going to get breakfast and call the hospital again. The hospital told me Mom seemed confused during the night, which is not new.

I'll take the laptop with me, there's a Starbucks near the hospital and an internet cafe, too.

Hugs all,

She got left in a hallway waiting for an ambulance to take her down the street to the extension. :)

Boy, is she annoyed.

While I was gone, they decided she would pee in a diaper since they were afraid of letting her walk to the bathroom. So they tied her down. She kicked one of the doctors in the head. (Not hard.) I got back, calmed her down, got them to let her up and walked her to the bathroom. She's resting now and the dotor will recover. :)

She's still pretty annoyed, though. :)

Hugs all,
Erin
