Hurry up and wait

Ugg I hate when things don't work like they are scheduled to! My mom was supposed to go in for a Pulmonary Function test this morning at 9am. Or so I was told.....my dad went with mom to the dr yesterday and they came home last night and said "they said to be at the hospital at 9am unless Crystal(the nurse) calls at 8am to tell you not to come." Ok....so 8am rolls around and no call so I load mom up and off we go to Joplin to the hospital.....I get her wheelchair out, take her inside and come out to park and my cellphone rings....it's Crystal saying they can't do the PFT til 11:45! She said she told mom and dad NOT to come til they heard from her.......it's too far to go back home and it's too hard on mom getting in and out of the car to go home, so we are killing time til 11:45! We went and got a drink and now we are sitting in the hospital parking lot because it's more comfortable for mom to sit in the van than her wheelchair. The test is supposed to take 1 hour, it's 25-30 minute drive back to Neosho (depending on Joplin traffic) and the kids get out early today for the homecoming parade at 2pm so it will be a rce against the clock to get mom's PFT done and get back home to get the kids....of course Jake is going with a friend to the parade and Justin can just walk across the boulevard to McDonalds and wait on me. Thank goodness I started this blog and I thought to bring my computer with me :D

Cheers,
