it's been a long day

we had to go to the hospital 
they are running 
TESTS

I'm not sure 
it has been a better day
than I imagined 

I had to sponge bathe my mom
which I could have lived 
without 

I got to ride in an ambulance 
which, honestly 
wasn't on my bucket list either 
BUT 
was kinda cool

my mom told this very dramatic story
about falling & crawling across the cold brick
three weeks ago

which doesn't seem to contain 
ANYTHING FACTUAL

I was asked the make and model of her pacemaker 
I didn't know 

she said she got it in twenty twenty one
I'm LIKE 
you didn't get you pacemaker 
during the pandemic 
you've had it
A LONG time 

I thought maybe twenty years 
BUT 
then I'm LIKE no that's not right
TEN
BUT 
she had the battery changed in 
twenty twenty two

SO
that's what she's thinking about 

I REALLY want to SLEEP 

we've been here like seven hours
