The downside of living in a small town

Mother was scheduled to have an MRI this past Friday, we were about to leave when they called to let us know that the machine had broken down and a repair person was on his way from San Antonio but they could not guarantee it would be fixed that day. He tentatively re-scheduled her for Saturday.

First thing Saturday I called to make sure the machine was up and running but it wasn't. Was informed that they would call us sometime next week to re-schedule. Our local hospital is the only place in town that has said machine.

Monday the healthcare worker assigned to mother got on the phone as soon as she found out to try to schedule the first available appointment but surprise...the closest date she could book was in two weeks. This is when I miss living in Houston where there are hundreds of options.

Today I went to stock up on groceries as I try to avoid going to stores the week before Christmas.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
