Oh, Shut Up!

It's another beautiful morning at the hospital. Grandma is going to be discharged back to the nursing home today for a little more rehab before we take her home. On such a joyous occasion, I thought I would share grandma's hate list. As she would say, these people just need to "shut up!"

• Marco Rubio and Rick Scott - If you're not familiar with these characters, they are politicians running for office in Florida. I'm not sure what it is about these two guys in particular, but grandma is sick of seeing their ugly mugs on TV. I'd like to throw in Alan Grayson because he really is hideous, I'm tired of looking at him too and we're bipartisan haters in this family.
  
• Survey Nurse - There is a woman at the hospital who is responsible for surveying patients and their families. She's sickeningly sweet and I'm pretty sure that is why grandma hates her. This woman takes her life into her hands whenever she enters the room. Lucky for her, we're leaving today.
  
• All Physical and Occupational Therapists - Grandma has zero patience for these people. They've made some great strides in getting her back on her feet, but I have no idea how they put up with her faces and tricks. She just wants to sit in bed and watch TV and I guess the therapists don't have any exercises for that in their program.
  
• The Price is Right Prize Models - "They are all fat. You can go to California and get a fat ass. Free fat asses! Free fat asses!"
• Anyone Asking Her to Walk - She'll walk when she's ready to walk, OK!? The other day I tried to convince her that walking to the bathroom would be good exercise. What was her response? "You were once my friend and now you are my enemy."
• Oprah - "Oh, she's on TV. Turn it off." To be honest, I'm a little scared to put Oprah on the official hate list. I have no idea what kind of power that woman has and I really don't want to know. But, this blog is about my lovely grandma and she hates Oprah. Sorry, O.
