A Phone Call At 3:50 AM

United States
April 6, 2022 4:30am CST
The phone rang, and it scared me so bad, that I jumped out of bed quickly to answer. When, I looked at the number it was Jim. Glad for that he's still under medication, telling me that he was in a church lounge. Said he hasn't seen anyone in quite awhile. I told him I was sure he hadn't at that time of morning. So now, I'll try to get back to sleep just hope I can.

He's back at the nursing home today, and gone to dialysis.

Glad it was only the medication talking. Any call in the middle of the night is so frightening.

Sounds like the medicine is messing with him.

@popciclecold My dad had some strong antibiotics like that a couple of times. They can mess with your mind

It's always frightening to get a call at that hour in the morning. I hope you were able to get back to sleep.

This would scare me too. I use to put my phone in silent mode when I sleep, but if it's emergency it's good to have your phone in normal mode so people can reach you.

Calling in the early hours of the morning can be surprising and scary sometimes

He was lonely I'll bet. I can't imagine how hard all this is on him as well as on you.

Medicine talking, since he's been in the hospital, he's been in a church lounge, L.A, and Florida.
