Naomi came home last night! The hospital discharged her at 7:00pm, but, unfortunately, without the meds she needs....so we had to go to the drugstore on the way home. The first one we stopped at, which is closest to home, had a little sign on the door, saying they were closed, but the store on Milwaukee and Belmont (not too terribly far) was open 24 hours. So, off we went. Now, it was around 9:00, and Naomi was getting uncomfortable, since her pain meds were due at 8:00. We took her into the store with us, in her body cast (I told her to look pitiful if she could)....the pharmacist took one look, said, "I'll do this one right away." BUT, he didn't have the valium that she needed......now, it was 9:20.....he came back and told us that the only store at that hour that did have the drug was on Irving Park and Cicero (not all that close)......while we were driving there, we got into a downpour that only the Midwest gets (a real frog-choker). Got to the store around 9:30 (I drove fast).....no one at the drive up window! I had to go inside to get someone's attention...but, FINALLY, we got her the medicine she needed. Home again a little after 10. By that time she was really in pain, but that stuff works FAST!
She got a great night's sleep and looks like our Naomi again.....with the addition of her bright blue cast.
Looking great. Mimi!
Miles is pretty happy to have her home...
... and so is Mom!
