I was sit'n here mind'n my own business and up drives an ambulance. I didn't call no ambulance. But apparently "pesky neighbor" Wayne did. When I looked over at him sit'n at his table, he look the same he do every morning. He had even let Sadie Mae in to eat up the cats food. Nothing seem out of the ordinary.
Now I got to think'n....that could be me they took away. Us older folks just don't get by like we used to do. Things happen to the body when ya least expect it, and had no idea that it could happen to you. We don't walk like we used to. Our bodies hurt. We mostly only exist. Dreams are shattered by "old age". We depend on no one. Our biggest hope is that tomorrow will be better than today.
I know this is distressing news for those that are acquainted with Wayne through my blog. It's distressing to me too. Makes my mind think. Who's gonna take care of the old fart while I'm off down the road in some God forsaken place? Who's gonna help him when he's in need? I can't take on the responsibility when I have issues of my own. I have my own dreams, aspirations, wants and needs. Boy howdy, what I gonna do now???
Latest news on Wayne......hospital looking for nearest relatives.
Latest news again.......Wayne has peemonia.....so I can't spell pneumonia the same as everyone else. So here's the deal. Wayne has COPD or something like that and peemonia can be fatal in his case. He is sedated at the hospital and will be there for a few days to a week. I'll attempt to visit him tomorrow.
Now for the rest of the story. There is a feller here at the park that thinks he can just go into Wayne's abode and snoop around. Says he gonna have someone come in and clean up the place. But old Billy Bob stepped right up and tole him that there weren't nobody gonna go snoop'n round Waynes house while I'm here. My God, the man just went to the hospital and the "snoops" are already com'n out the woodwork. I'll pad lock the door if I have to and bring his cat to my house with Sadie Mae.
Was the ambulance for Wayne? If so, how is he doing?
ReplyDeletewhat does that mean?
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope pesky recovers well. Some more golf with him is needed. NOBODY has more fun than the three of us on the golf course. You have voiced the concerns of many of us more experienced folks. My only hope is to make it to the CARE center at the Escapees.
ReplyDeleteMaking updates as the day goes on.....
ReplyDeleteYea, keep us updated on "ole Pesky Wayne" Next time you talk to him, if he understands you. Tell him we're pulling for him. That Dammed COPD is what put me in the hospital this spring. It ain't fun.
ReplyDeleteDamned bad news about Wayne. Nice work your keeping those vultures away from his home.
ReplyDeleteWhat hospital is Wayne in?
ReplyDeleteMy 87 year old Mom has COPD and other related stuff. She has been in and out of the hospital here six or seven times in the past four years, mostly it is pneumonia that puts her there. She still smokes and like Wayne probably will make St. Peter wait until she finishes off the "last one". Point is, if he does like the Doctors tell him, he likely will be out in about a week and after a week or two to get strength back, he will be back swaking them balls.
ReplyDeleteWHAT'S WAYNE'S CONDITION ??
ReplyDeleteHave COPD, had pneumonia 3 years ago this month, BAD, almost didn't make it. Was my last cigarette, just before the ambulance got here for me. Know what?,,after 50 years, 2-3 packs a day, was NO problem to quit!
