I pause. I breathe deeply. I close my eyes. I press into Indy\u2019s mind. Where would Indy put whatever is missing?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That day, I opened my eyes, my gaze falling on an Eagles pocket notebook sitting on the end table next to Indy\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The notebook was held closed by \u2013 what else? &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/21\/lets-band-together\/\">a rubber band<\/a>. I don\u2019t know why rubber bands have become so important to Indy. But they secure everything valuable to him. I\u2019m lucky I don\u2019t have a rubber band around me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The driver\u2019s license and Medicare card were, logically, wedged in the notebook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did you know they were there?!\u201d Willie demanded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I replied I know how Indy thinks.

When my phone rang after one in the morning that night, I expected the worst.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I did not get the worst.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Indy, apparently, was determined to go home to Willie. So determined, in fact, he had repeatedly gotten out of bed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Indy\u2019s nurse wanted me to reorient Indy. He wanted me to reorient Indy now, or he was going to call \u2013 wait for it \u2013 <em>security.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a nurse. I never knew it was the family\u2019s responsibility to reorient a patient, or that security was the key to controlling a 165-pound octogenarian. Do you know how much time I wasted guiding patients back to bed, explaining they were hospitalized and why? Where can I register a complaint to get those hours back?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, if I had been able to reorient Indy he wouldn\u2019t \u2013 how do I say this? \u2013 need to be in the dirty birdy hospital.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I just rewatched <em>Misery<\/em>. My goal in life is to be that menacing without uttering a single curse word.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had the dirty birdy nurse put Indy on the dirty birdy phone. Indy told me this was ridiculous as he had been there for hours and it was time to go home. I reminded Indy why he was in the hospital. I implored him to stay in bed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you promise to stay in bed?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Indy said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you at least get in bed and think about staying there?\u201d I suggested.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Indy said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. They called security.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Had Indy known how close he was to the front doors of the hospital, his escape would have been successful.

That would have been easier than getting Indy to stay in bed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Willie and I went to the hospital for a visit with Indy. Our visits were limited to one person at a time. We decided I would go first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I peeked in on Indy, who told me to tell it walking because he just wanted to hang with Willie. \u201cTell her I want her to stay all day,\u201d Indy directed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I did as I was told, which brought on a very romantic grunt from Willie. \u201cLike I have nothing else to do besides sit with him!\u201d Willie complained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I think we all dream of a love like that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, I knew I shouldn\u2019t have asked this next question. I knew I shouldn\u2019t. But I did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you need to do? I can take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, Willie needed me to go to Sam\u2019s Club to pick up her grocery order. Next, I needed to go back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/05\/27\/mean-ior-citizens\/\">Temple of Doom<\/a> to drop off the groceries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the groceries were not Willie\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie buys all the food sold in the Temple of Doom\u2019s caf\u00e9. She orders it, pays for it, picks it up, delivers it, and submits a receipt for reimbursement. My job this day was to pick up the groceries at Sam\u2019s Club and deliver them to the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just a little aside here &#8211; Willie and the lady who runs the caf\u00e9 \u2013 another Temple of Doom resident \u2013 don\u2019t get along. I don\u2019t know why. But she is Willie\u2019s nemesis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And yes. You\u2019re recalling correctly that Willie already has a nemesis at the Temple of Doom. She is Willie\u2019s neighbor, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/26\/swinging-seniors-2\/\">deposed fire marshal of Hallway C, Second Floor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And you\u2019re also recalling correctly that Willie has a <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/05\/27\/mean-ior-citizens\/\">third enemy<\/a>, who actually reported Indy and Willie to the Temple of Doom\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie loves a good enemy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People who are not Willie\u2019s enemy get pumpkin bread at Christmas. As long as I was dropping off groceries at the Temple of Doom, Willie said, I could go up to Willie\u2019s apartment and wrap the pumpkin bread.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Twenty large and twenty small loaves of pumpkin bread needed to be wrapped. Forty loaves for the various people who are not Willie\u2019s mortal enemies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Forty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I headed to Sam\u2019s Club, then circled back over to the Temple of Doom and deposited the groceries on the caf\u00e9 counter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are from Willie,\u201d I explained to the lady who runs the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho are you?\u201d the caf\u00e9 lady asked, her nose wrinkled like I was a peasant in her castle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So now I don\u2019t like the caf\u00e9 lady either.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also don\u2019t like the deposed fire marshal of Hallway C, Second Floor. She\u2019s bossy. And flirts with Indy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Willie and Indy\u2019s daughter,\u201d I explained, although I think we all know that despite my best efforts I am thoroughly Willie\u2019s daughter. \u201cWillie is tied up. These are for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWillie usually gives me a receipt,\u201d she huffed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell Willie is visiting my father in the hospital today. So I guess we\u2019ll just have to deal with that receipt later,\u201d I said brightly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I mean, they all live within 2000 square feet of each other. I\u2019m sure Willie can bring the receipt when they all go to happy hour on Thursday. Or happy hour on Friday. Or happy hour on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I spun on my heel and walked out. That pumpkin bread wasn\u2019t going to wrap itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-730 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-300x248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-1536x1270.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-2048x1693.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/March3-850x703.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Indy did eventually make it home \u2013 proper and legal, not by escaping and hitching a ride with a long-haul trucker.
