Mom was in the hospital...

for once, i actually managed to Shoot pictures of mom from start to finish in the hospital. This visit was more than a little silly. She had a non-specific infection, possbly blood, possibly kidney, but they made her stay in the hospital for 4 days when she could have stayed at home. Ostensibly it was to monitor her, but I don' think we would have done a worse job of that at home. Add to that the stress factor of being in the hospital, and the whole thing was kind of ridiculous.

Mom the day she went to the dialysis clinic with a fever.

The first cultures, which were the only ones that came back positive.

Hallway going into Presbyterian Tower, OU Med center.

Mom coming back from the vending machines. Not happy.

In the last few minutes of her stay, the doctor came in and removed her catheter.

On the other hand, she did feel quite a bit better getting out (no more infection), and she doesn't have a cardiac catheter any more- the leg graft they did several months ago is working, and as of today, she's about halfway through training to stick herself and do the whole thing at home again.

All I have to say is I was really off that night. A lot of blurry pics from too low a shutter speed. So that's why the coverage isn't as good as it should be.

Brofest: The Morning After

I'm not exactly sure if this was the morning after brofest or just the morening after some other party. But this guy is full of hangover.

The brunch club. Stuart here is thinking "I can't believe that I leave in just a few hours."

Celery so big it gets a photo op.

Brofest

These pictures are all from the raddest ride kickoff/fundraiser ever. Stuart, Pat and Cameron are heading across the country on the Broquest (link goes to their site). This is why film sucks sometimes; I'm just now getting the pics from their out of town party up and they're already three states into their Portland to Portland run. Oh well.

The Dudes of America played, and they're a bunch of rockstars. I'm too lazy to caption, you can figure it out. That and I'm blogging while flying down the highway. wah-hoo.
