Long day yesterday. Walked the pups as usual with Betty; fed them; went to the gym, Sam’s Club for mom’s supplies, the gas station, the bank, and then market to pick up my raw milk and a few other things. Sat with my friend RB at market for a few minutes to say hello before heading back home to take care of mom. Long morning would presage a much longer day. 

Received a phone call from T about my patient in Pottstown. Apparently L fell out of bed and was untended for a few minutes the night before. She has not been the same since and no longer screams in anger, but attempts to scream in pain. Had an medical appointment I could not break. Plan was to return to Pottstown and see to L. Made the necessary arrangements and phone calls. Mia, head CNA on the case, will meet me there. Hours later, I arrived in Pottstown. L did not look or sound well. Alerted her son we must call 911, and so we were off. Long night at the hospital, pouring rain. L’s son does not tolerate electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) well. Is seeking to build something, somewhere where he can escape them. Apparently, Maine, Maryland, and California are the only states left where you can do this. He is thinking of Maryland. I am thinking his glory will be short-lived. 

X-rays normal. Son refused a CT scan—for obvious reasons (mother also does not like EMFs, but mother is seriously demented at 96 years old and cannot make any decisions for herself; although, she repeatedly says she wants to die. For some reason, she is being made to stay around.) Took a supper break at Cheryl’s, returned to the hospital. It was now pouring rain. Long, dark drive home ahead of me. Hoping mom and pups are OK and that Rob is not too burdened. 

Got home at 11:30 pm. Will be following up with patient later this morning, taking the pups for a walk, feeding them, starting my day all over again.
