I have decided...fuck my life sometimes!

What a great night..about to sit down to pizza, movie and then play some games,
Then get a call to say my grandmother who had been out for most of the day visiting one of her friends in a hospital, got lost on her way home and fell having to go to a hospital herself >.>
I have been to many hospitals for similar things and I was sure of one thing...Friday night it's going to be a looooong night in a waiting room watching the crazies come in, but lucky us...we got to sit next to one that 'befriended' us.
Unfortunately my grandmother is a rather trusting naive person and strikes up conversation with her too, sealing this imaginary friendship while I'm trying to not seem too friendly so she gets the idea and buggers off.
We had a good 3 hours to get to know this person waiting for a damn bed, it's late..it's pouring rain and we're in a rather seedy looking area so I just wanted to get her out of there and go home. Anyway this woman doesn't seem too 'crazy' so when she asks to borrow my phone to make a phone call, I of course let her, following her when she leaves the waiting room to yell at whoever was on the other end.
Good thing I did since no sooner did she disappear out the door that her psychiatric doctor came up asking me where she went! So...its 11 pm, raining and pitch black and we're searching the streets and parking lots for this crazy woman because god damn it, I want my phone back!!
The doctor leaves to call the police and get hospital security, so I go into Sherlock Holmes mode and begin to think of the most rational place a crazy person would go when it's pouring raining, sure enough I actually found her and managed to retrieve my phone from this nut case while keeping her somewhat calm as security arrives to 'escort' her away.
My grandmother is still in hospital since they'll keep her for a day or so, I'm finally home with cold pizza and a possible cold coming on.
Terrible experience that might possibly make a good story one day!
