8 hours in the hospital

Processsing

A family member got sick last night, and we went to
the emergency department at a local hospital today.
It was a long saga, and in total we spent eight hours
until we saw a doctor.  The good news, everything
is going to be all right. And along the way, especially
in the final waiting room, we met some very nice
people.

Worrying

One lovely woman, Carmella, shared a sandwich
with a woman who had cut her hand badly falling
on a wine glass.  A total stranger feeling compassion
for someone else's pain, and feeding them after
a long, long, long wait.  I was so happy to
witness that, and all of the humour in that room
too.

They say it's worse on Monday

I'm sharing some sketches I did.  Even though the
wait was long, people were always coming and going
and I drew what I could get down quickly.
A challenge I always enjoy.  But it would be
more fun to draw this way in a café for sure.

I hope my girlfriend's okay
