TRANSFER POSITIVE
Well, I'm finally here. Signature Health Care in Jamestown.
Yesterday (Good Friday) was one heckuva long day. Everything was chaotic (as usual) and I knew nothing of what was going on (as usual).
I got up very early and was told "they" were picking me up at 9:00 a.m. Who were "they"? They were taking me...where?
I thought I had a doctor appointment. I disgarded the hospital gown and put on clothes. A new shirt. And a pair of sweatpants 20X my size.
I always buy medium sweatpants. These were a probable good fit for Jumbo the elephant.
When I was ready, the social worker Jennifer told me they'd pick me up at noon.
Who?
The transport from Signature in Jamestown.
Silent "Yay!" Couldn't believe my ears.
Problem arises. Being in bed far too long, my knees locked. Couldn't bend them at all. I was like a three week corpse. How the hell could I get in a wheel chair? About half an hour later they brought in another chair. Had a place for my stiff legs. Real cute.
I was wheeled down hallways and brought to a room I've never seen before. There was a huge wide screen TV and they put me smack dab in front of it - - so close that I could see everything without glasses.
Two things wrong with the room.
One
Everyone in the room had dementia. Except for me, of course, but that's a matter of debate. They were shouting, peeing on the floor......and vile things I won't mention.
Two
The TV was tuned to the reruns of Little House on the Prairie.
Let me kindly interject here.
I absolutely love Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books. She's an American icon.
BUT
The TV series has NOTHING to do with her books. The network frogs simply stole her name, raped her image, and made a shit TV series (oops, sorry). She must be revolving in her grave.
OK, let's continue
If you were ever in a room filled with dementia victims and was forced to watch rerun after rerun after rerun of Little House dangerously close up - - you'd be crying and praying fervently for death. That's what I was doing.
My stiff legs were sticking up like I was on an ironing board. I couldn't go anywhere. Hour dragged on upon hour.
Finally, finally a worker came by. I asked for the time, she said it was 1:30. She also said Signature Transport was here! I couldn't believe it!
They transfered me into another chair (where my legs were down) and took me to the lobby.
There was Anthony the Signature driver I knew so well and Martha - - the 80-year-old-something nurse who accompanied me on so many journeys.
I was so relieved!!!
The long trip back to Jamestown was wonderful.
Warm partly cloudy afternoon, green rolling hills, dormant trees coming to life, blossoms everywhere. A perfect Good Friday.
Here at Signature they gave me a very good room, everyone remembers me. I'm treated like a king (so far).
Me - - still have many problems, but breathing a big sigh of relief.
Jon, smiling like Bugs Bunny

GOOD FRIDAY
I'm posting this early, because it might be the only time I have to do it.
I made this video several years ago and have a habit of rehashing it on Good Friday.
Since I am notoriously dissatisfied with everything I do, I would like to drastically edit this video but it's too much trouble.
My main purpose was to create something with a soothing effect - a sort of respite capturing the essence of Good Friday.
The music from Parsifal by Richard Wagner is absolutely perfect for this.
Whatever.
I'm not certain, but I might have an important update this Easter weekend. I've heard several conflicting rumors, and also things from fairly reliable sources.
Who knows?
Anyway, have a peaceful weekend, immersed in the glorious embrace of spring.
Jon 💜 🐰🐣🐤🐇🐥🐰
(Keep the volume up on the video)
P.S.
Yes, an Easter surprise, but I don't know details yet.
