Dad wasn't thinking
I went to see my mother at the hospital after her back surgery Wednesday. When I got there I had to laugh at Dad's directions on what side of the building to go to and which entrance to use.
I just don't think Dad was putting too much thought into it when he told me where to go.
Okay now you want to know why I think his directions where so funny, don't you. (mind you they were just haha funny not ROFLOL funny).
Dad told me the street entrance that he uses to get to the main part of the hospital, no big deal just not the one that I will be using because I am coming from the opposite direction. I pretty much know most of the hospital because family has been there before, but there have been a few remodels so I try to incorporate Dad's directions into my knowledge of the hospital grounds.
Here is the funny part, Dad tells me to go to the parking lot where there is a statue in front of the building and use that entrance. (no problem right? wrong?! LOL) What Dad did not think about is the fact that the hospital is a catholic hospital named after St. Vincent de Paul, so there are statues every where. Statues of Mary, of St Vincent, of Jesus. Fortunately Daddy's oldest girl knows how to read and the hospital likes to be helpful; the entrance is marked with big bold lettering 'Hospital Entrance'
So I made it to see Mom without getting lost, lol and I told Mom about Dad's directions, it gave her a little laugh and she said 'you Dad wasn't thinking'

"Oh, the entrance next to the ONE STATUE on the Catholic hospital grounds?" I think there were more statues and icons than nurses at St Luke's when I was there. I hope your mom's recovery is swift and free of more complications. In a perfect world, she'll just have to worry about your dad's directions. And I'm sure her back will feel better once she heals.
