Dad's Home!

Tuomo writes: I wasn't looking forward to calling my mom tonight and hearing more about what hadn't been done. As a result, I was quite surprised to hear dad's voice instead of mom's! He was released on Wednesday evening, right before the Independence Day, a big thing for my folks. The tests he'd been waiting for will be carried out next week, and there was no need for him to stay at the hospital any longer.

And not a moment too soon either! His hollering roommate had been replaced by another, this one even more raving mad. She refused to stay at the hospital, and even started to act violently towards the staff who tried to calm her down, get undressed and go back to bed. She said she'd call for the police, and the staff retaliated by calling in the guards. It wasn't until the 200 kilo guard showed up and gave her a menacing look that she calmed down. Even so, they tied her down, as a safety measure...

My dad's summary of the week-long ordeal: not a fun place...
