Last night was a crazy one. Right after I got out of work, I get a phone call, I think it's my mom ( caller ID) So I answer it. As soon as I heard my grandmother's voice I knew something was wrong. She never calls me. She said, “Charlie, it's your mom, she had an accident, she's at the hospital. She came in from outside, she was dragging herself in on the ground.” I said, “When? What happend? How is she?” Grandma says to me, “Earlier today at about 5 pm… She just got to the hospital. Your cousin took her. Listen, I've got another call on the other line, I'll call you back.” And she hung up! This was 12 pm their time and this had happened at 5 pm? Seven hours ago? And she just got to the hospital? I couldn't understand what was happening. I called my brother, but no answer, I called my cousin who had taken her to the hospital, seven hours later, but never the less taken her. No answer. I left a message. Finally grandmother called back, “She must've slipped in the pool. She couldn't talk from all the pain. And she was dragging herself, she couldn't walk!” I said to her, “So how is she? What have you heard? And… WHAT POOL!? You don't have a pool.” She says to me, “I bought one. For Mazzy. It's a small one for little kids.” And by the way, Mazzy… is my dog. I was still trying to piece everything together, I was confused. “You bought a swimming pool?, I asked. “For Mazzy?” “Yes.” She said, with a tone of voice that left me with the feeling that I was hard of hearing. She continued, “I bought Mazzy a pool so your mom could bath her, she slipped in it, her elbow is dislocated, she's at the hospital right now.” “So she was giving Mazzy a bath and she slipped?”, I asked. “NO. She was alone in there, by herself, Mazzy was inside the house.” Ok, by this time I was so confused that I was thinking of taking a nap. I ask grandma, “So why did it take so long to get her to the hospital?” Grandma says, “We couldn't find a ride.” At this time I wasn't sure if I should laugh or just wait for something funnier. “Grandma,” I said, “Why didn't you call an ambulance?” This is what I was waiting to hear. She says, “They cost money! We don't have money to spend on an ambulance! I barely had enough to buy the pool.” At least I had the courtesy to hang up with her first before I laughed hysterically. Several minutes later mom called, “Hi baby, I'm ok, the doctor gave me some Morphine and popped my elbow back in place. I'm fine.” I said, “Doesn't gravity suck!?” She started laughing, I'm not sure if it was from the medication though. She says to me, “I didn't want to some to the hospital because I didn't know how I was gonna explain it.” That's comedy folks! Real life comedy. It's too fuckin' funny to make that shit up. God, thanks for all the good times, but most important, the bad times that make my mind so twisted that I can laugh at the craziest things. And hearing my mom laughing after having a bone forced back into place shows me what a fucked up family I have, thanks for giving me her as well and keeping her safe… I know it's not easy! In serious news, tommorow I find out my Police Exam score, I can't wait to get a gun. See ya!
Current Mood: nostalgic
