Dim Sum Day but Sum Dam Nite!

Well, the dim sum was certainly delicious, but by nightfall on Saturday, things were much changed. A trip to the ER, no NOT Mr. Ed! She of the sudden and extremely painful cystitis instead - yours truly, MOI! 5 hours in a beautiful state-of-the-art 6-month old ER (ah, Ma and Pa, how the UH-ER was a sad sort of cheat, sorry you won't have seen the new one to come). We were so lucky, in that the U of A Med Center was literally right down the street (could have walked if we'd had to) AND blessedly not having a bad Saturday night (we Moirs all know what a university ER can be like, but I never heard a siren once until we left). Good docs and good nurses,good response to the IV antibiotics I'd received by the time I woke up this morning, and an RX to take home. We were also lucky not to have to drive today; we went to see the old mission church as we'd hoped to do, and it was something, lit the traditional candle for La Guadalupana. Some average-grade fry bread and beans on the way out, a drive up to a view spot (naturally we'd find the barrio spot), and then a quiet evening here before we leave tomorrow. In no rush to go, so we'll take our time, since we'll be getting home after dark anyway. This is definitely one of the nicest hotel experiences I have ever had, despite some unexpected drama, and I have had plenty for a working stiff.
