Incompetence

"How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it."
~Marcus Aurelius

Work was okay today. I was a bit more even keeled than Monday. After work, I went out to dinner with Sammy and had a wonderful time catching up with her. We even did some shopping after dinner which was fun. This is a photo of the sky when I got back to my place that night.

I returned my parents phone call when I got home. I am so angry today I can't give all the details... but suffice it to say that my relative is not only NOT dying, she's actually doing pretty well for 95. She does have kidney failure, but the specialist says she'll likely die from something else first. My anger is at the incompetence of my aunt, who didn't make my relative walk after her knee surgery for her at home rehab, leading to the blood clot in her leg. Then her doctors, for giving her so much Warfarin that she had massive blood loss due to an inability to clot. Then to the hospital for putting her on insulin, increasing her mental confusion, when she's NOT diabetic and discharging her with a recommendation of hospice, when the specialist scheduled a follow-up appointment for her in NOVEMBER.

I know I should be glad she's okay, but I am just seeing red right now. My father is relieved and finding it hard to hold onto the anger. I am not having that problem, the niceness of not having to leave at a moment's notice notwithstanding.
