Fiona's in the hospital... again

I awoke and found no one in the house. Several open bottles of various stomach medicines. So I thought, "Hmm, either they've gone for dim sum without telling me, or Fiona's in the hospital."

She had gut-wrenching pains and blood in her stool. Heny took her to the emergency room at Toronto Western Hospital this morning at 4 am. They're keeping her overnight for observation and more tests. That really sucks.

What sucks worse is that right now she's still in the emergency ward - a big room with curtained off cubbies, each filled with other emergency patients. There were several drunks who had been in car accidents. One needed a skin graft for the front of his body. Fi said he was still puking and farting and getting over the alcohol even as we spoke.

Then there were the crazy schizophrenic ladies, and various other people in different states of mind and injury. Many of them djrunk with a j.

Lovely. Thank god she's being moved to a room tonight.

I'll keep you apprised - we hope it's nothing serious, but this time it could be worse than usual.
