Faith in Humankind = 13+
Lack of faith in Humankind 5 + a real BIG faux pas
In our travels yesterday, it looks like 'faith in humankind' won out. Do not be deceived.
Mom had a procedure which took us all day. When I was banished from her hospital room and the procedure itself, I was able to sneak out and do some stuff for Mom.
Right off the bat, we thought the day was gonna be awful because the hospital patient registration folks were already in a tizzy at 8am. Then they put an IV in that was unnecessary. They never used it or had any intention of using it but caused Mom so much pain.
It gradually got better thank goodness. Along the way and in my travels, my disheartened spirit would get a sporadic boost from strangers. One woman wished me and Mom well. I found a parking spot as soon as I arrived back from Mom's errands. I saw a former high school teacher who brightened my day. And I was able to spend a few moments with my Aunt & Uncle before they, themselves were off to a doctor's appointment.
Mom even felt well enough to go to the Indians Game. Things were looking up. When we arrived at the Ballpark, we got the very first spot in the parking garage. Unbelievable! That's where our day got soured again. No matter how many 'random acts of kindness' were showed us today, some idiot ruined them all.
A jack-al (Detroit Tiger fan) spit ketchup all over Mom and her new outfit as we were making the long walk up the stairs at the end of the game. Apparently we were not going fast enough. It was an awful feeling that someone could be so cruel and cold to a fellow human being, especially an elderly matriarch who is the salt of the earth!
