Shelley waiting around in the ER.... in between all the testing

Me waiting around with Shelley... I got a special "VIP" pass to the ER with my picture on it.

So.... Last Friday I am sound asleep and my phone rings! It's my roommate Shelley calling to see if I could take her to the ER. She tried to metro there but there were delays and blah blah blah. I was suppose to work at nordstroms but didn't really care b/c for those of you that don't know I quit and only have a few days left! Anyways..... I told her of course. So we headed to Washington General Hospital in DC. She told me to drop her off and I told her she's crazy. We figured it was her appendix or something like that. So.... we spent the day in the ER. Very interesting place for sure. Pretty much sat on her bed and waited ... she had lots of tests done.... I kept everyone updated.... and finally the very cute doctors came in and told her about the surgery and lucky for us when she was wheeled down to the operating room we got to see them again! So my 12 hour day at the ER ended around 10:30 that night with her safe and sound in her hospital room ready for bed. So I headed home and her sister Megan and I came back the next morning and spent the day with Shells and brought her home! Lots more to the story but you get the just of it! I am so glad I stayed at the hospital with her... even though she tried to tell me I didn't need to. If it was me in there I would have done the same thing. Said it's ok you don't need to stay .... but secretly would be hoping they would! Good think I had my camera and could capture our time at the hospital! I'm glad you are better Shells!
