We have some older neighbors. Both are in their 80's & have health issues. He's worse off in that regard. He can barely walk & has to go for medical attention a couple of times per week. Ambulances have been a common sight for the last few years. 1 shows up at least every few months & the intervals are shortening to weeks.
There was an ambulance this morning. Of course, that means a police escort. Here, when you get a cop, you get a half dozen. A single, no serious event traffic stop can require every officer in town for some reason.
I woke to an ambulance with flashing lights, 3 cruisers & a police SUV. They were all flashing & chirping, at least the sirens weren't going. They woke me a little before 7.
They were here until a ways after 8. A couple of more cars arrived, maybe family. The other neighbors were outside gawking. I stayed in my bed, hoping they'd all go away. They did eventually, but by then I was awake.
I didn't see them take the man, but it's just a matter of time. He's bone thin & bedridden these days. It would seems he needs hospice care more than a doctor visit. I hope they're making him as comfortable as possible.
That's been my morning. It could've been worse. I could be having that man's morning.
Take care.
