Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged.
However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly
gentleman–already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his
feet–who insisted he didn’t need my help to leave
the hospital.  After a chat about rules being rules, he
reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.  On the way down I asked
him if his wife was meeting him.  ”I don’t know,” he
said.  ”She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her
hospital gown.”

How do you know when your mom in her 40′s is becoming creative?

Answer: When she starts riggin’ up “burglar alarms” like these…LOL!!!!!!!

(Click image for larger view.)

If you can’t tell what it is, it’s a little container of glass jar lid rings and a Cream Soda box.
The hopeful is that all this stuff will tumble down, in case of someone opening the door, and make noise.
I can definitely see those jar rings flyin around like little UFO’s!!! LOL!!!
