Once again I will not bury the lead: Dad is fine. He was all better by the end of the day yesterday. As it turned out, it just took longer to recover than we were expecting. If going to the ER and getting tested and passed as relatively healthy helped at all, then it was worth it. And now back to your regular silly blog post.
The biggest comedy killer is death, of course, with serious illness another contender. I was going to post about the lighter side of a visit to the emergency room, but it turned out not to be that light. (Not the visit to the ER itself, which was pretty merry really, but the thing I wanted to post about. That was that on one of the cupboards was written "Peel away introducer," which I thought was a dang amusing phrase. Unfortunately, googling revealed it to be connected with pacemakers and thus not exactly a laugh riot. Still a damn peculiar set of words, though.
The other thing that tickled me about the emergency room (we were there a loooooong time, the TV was off, and we got bored rather quickly) was the Variable Intensity Control. This had something to do with fire detection or fire suppression equipment. I do not know whether it controlled the intensity of the fire detection, the fire suppression, or the fire itself. Probably not a laugh riot either, but again I enjoyed the odd turn of phrase.
