Another One Drops

So, I was in the dialysis center, playing on eBay, when all of these alarms go off!
Technicians came a running from all over the building!
I guess  the lady in the chair next to me had a stroke!
Which affected her breathing.
Hence all of the alarms.

So, they got her breathing again.
But, she was otherwise unresponsive.
The papa-medics came, loaded her on a gurney and off they went.

No idea how long she will be hospital bound.
Sorta sad as she was a nice lady.

Then the young nurse whom had taken such a liking to me earlier,
Told me she is going to start a new job elsewhere next week.
Well. that was a bummer!
She is amongst the few whom do speak English fluently.
And you can tease her without any umbrage being taken.

But she was not well liked by the staff.
So from their perspective:
No great loss to them.
There are still teo other nurses.
Neither of them can speak English well however!

Like I should have anything to say concerning English!
I was pretty much considered a retard until I was in my 30;s.
Yeah, constant confused by this language!
In fact, I started blogging as a tool to get past my inabilities in English!

Yeah in high school, I took only one English class!
The teacher hated me more than I felt for her!
That was one hard year!

She was a huge, mean spirited,  teacher,
Hated equally by all!
At the end of that year she quit teaching and went on to found Weight Watchers.
Well it is good she did something she knew about,
After she lost about 300 pounds!

But all of those chocolate cakes still added up and she died of a heart attack later.
And I thought how odd it was ar the time,
She was maybe late fifties and huge,
And dies of a heart attack.

Not unexpected by her doctors.

Whereas my father,
The vary definition of starving in appearance,
Had his first major heart attack at 30!
Of course, I new nothing of DNA or family histories at the time!
But it made me a health nut and very observant.

Lot of good that did me!
I often have thought,
"Yup, these are the years all of that clean living bought me!"
sigh .....
