A Sausage McGriddle on your pillow every night

Well, not really. On Tuesday, when the insurance stuff blew-up, the hospital arranged for a room at the Ronald McDonald House a block or so away. Even though we haven't been discharged from the hospital the social worker said that it is common to have both if more than one parent is staying with the patient. The hospital room is really set up for just one extra person to sleep over. The 2nd parent gets a chair that looks harmless in the daytime, but revealed a much more evil side overnight. It was a notch up from sleeping in an airline seat, but not much. So I have been sleeping over in the RMH.

The first picture is the entrance. It seems like a nice place. I've only been there to sleep, so it is pretty quiet when I come and go. Sort of a cross between a hotel and borrowing someones apartment. You need to clean the room some when your stay is over, but your checkout is 'until you no longer need the room'. There are a number of large nice common areas with TV's and games and such. There is a huge kitchen area as well, with frig and freezer space for each room and a large common food area as well. There are cookies and snacks and a food pantry for communal use. Volunteer groups come in and serve dinners some nights.

Second picture is the room. A pleasant 'motel with no decor' feel. A mixture of slightly out-of-date appliances/electronics. They rely a lot on volunteers, and donations of services and items. Since we were a last minute addition we got a room that was scheduled to be painted and since they knew I wasn't using it in the daytimes, there is a crew of volunteers there painting it now. So Paisley dreams tonight.
