At Kenmore Mercy with Matthew
Category: hospital
No, I did not hit him. He actually ran into a tree branch. Literally.

This has to be the worst hospital I have ever been at.

I feelbsi guilty having matthew leave high street because I thought the wait would be too long and he should get some more immediate care as his eye was involved. I would rather die then be brought here. You think I would have learned the time they misstitched his finger and had to restitch it. I actually prefer high street because at least they have security. Kenmore Mercy doesn't seem to have any as was evidenced by the crazy behavior by the kid in the waiting room trying to scam pills. Never again.

Paul,

I work at Catholic Health and came across your blog entry.

I'm sorry that you were disappointed in the care that Matthew received at Kenmore Mercy Hospital. To file a complaint, could you please have Matthew contact our patient representative, Kathleen? She can be reached by email (http://www.chsbuffalo.org/AboutUs/Contact) or by phone (447-6360). Kathleen will look into the events that occurred and can address your concerns.

Not that I know anything but maybe they wanted to do a CAT Scan so that if some thing like a headache happens they know that it isn't a brain issue and it is an eye issue... Glad you are ok that looks really bad ......
matthew - 08/24/11 14:32
Thanks guys, I'm okay. No damage to the eye. Just a superficial wound. I had 6 stitches put in. It looks way worse than it feels. My eye is completely swollen shut. I feel a little dizzy from looking out from just one eye, and I have a slight headache.

domestic violence. how do you "run: into a tree branch??? sorry matt, that's a bad owie.
tinypliny - 08/24/11 07:30
Was there damage to the globe? Did any tear go through and through?
tinypliny - 08/24/11 07:18
!!! I am so sorry!
YesThatCasey - 08/24/11 07:11
Oi!
paul - 08/24/11 01:04
When we got here there were no people and we were up next.

Matthew is to timid that after waiting one hour at this shithole of a hospital, I went up to the nurses desk and explained his eye was bleeding. They haven't even given us ice to reduce the swelling. That seems like pretty common sense first aid.

I asked her if we should take him to another hospital. She said do what you think. I said no, what do you think. You are a nurse, can he at least get some ice. A few minutes later they called him in. I followed and they gave me that who are you to the patient bullshit. I should have just said I was his father. You would think being the person who is paying for it all and who is on the same insurance card is good enough but not for Kenmore Mercy.

If I am just sticking with High Street from now on. It was just so busy tonight. You would think we would have learned from his last experience here when they misstitched Matthews hand and had to resew it.
paul - 08/24/11 00:54
Two and a half fucking hours later the stupid idiots want to give him a catscan now that they know he has insurance and despite there being any real impact. He is refusing. I think a cleanup plus ice two hours ago would have been a better approach. I hope this place goess out of business.

We went to a fundraiser for Jimmy from Cathode at Marcellas tonight. It was put on by Keke who did a fantastic job. It was a Chinese auction but I think everyone was trying to be PC because they kept referring to it as an Asian auction.

The old marcellas is now the new marcellas. It felt like stepping back in time.

I ate lots of food. The Swedish meatballs were better than the ones at IKEA.

Here is (e:mike) and I and the time tunnel.

We bought lots of tickets but won nothing. Strangely, the same three people won just about everything.

They have dividers now.

I can't believe people bid on cans of speghetti sauce and speghetti. I didn't even know that sauce came in cans. I can only imagine the how gross the metallic taste is.

A combo spot/starbuck basket? I wonder what the companies would have to say about that.

Old/New Marcy Bar? When did they move?

% Strangely, the same three people won just about everything.

I believe that is called rigging.

1. Huge Breasts Yum
2. The Rolling Stones Urinal is insane
3. I never bought canned sauce cause once you open it if you don't use it all what do you do with it..... For some reason it isn't safe to put it in the fridge has something to do with the cold and the can...

Atop the Mayflower
Category: buffalo
The other day (e:tinypliny) took us up on the mayflower's roof. The view was great. I noticed The JCC has a huge solar panel farm. I makes me want one on the back of our roof and garage.

I think all buildings should make an effort to have a solar panel farm.. but considering the city is covered in snow for around 8 months, I wonder what the energy gains are.
metalpeter - 08/22/11 18:43
Nice Pictures....
leetee - 08/22/11 17:04
I didn't know there was a way up to the roof. Nice views.

insane what she should do instead is hit the Competitive eating circuit....
tinypliny - 08/21/11 17:53
What is more unbelievable is she has "fans" (read: psychotic crazies fueling this irresponsible behaviour)
libertad - 08/21/11 17:08
So basically she is going to kill herself before her children reach adulthood to try and prove that it is OK to be morbidly obese. That is so crazy.

Swimming at Windmill Point Rock Quarry
Category: swimming
Yesterday (e:terry), (e:matthew) and I went swimming at the quarry again. This time we spent a lot of time in the middle with goggles. There us some crazy stuff down three including a pirate ship with mast and skeletons, a bathtub and a large recreational boat. It was fun trying to swim down far enough to touch it. Next weekend I am bringing nose plugs.
