BINGO!

No, I'm not getting out 😐
No, it's the daily Bingo games they have to get us up and out of bed and our rooms. Dr said I needed to go. Whoopie!

It is the most soul sucking thing since JK Rowling created the Dementors in the Harry Potter books 🤗

The "activity" room is in the other side of the building in the nursing home section. 2 dozen or so inmates in the room. My presence lowered the average age to 100 😀
All of them in wheelchairs with tubes and bags and and oxygen tanks attached. Makes the snccc meeting look like the church youth group 😂

Oh the joys of playing bingo with folks that can't hear or remember the numbers called and keep yelling out "what"? Send in the Dementors, it'd be more humane.

After Bingo, a special treat. A very nice gentleman came to entertain us with song and guitar. Hawaiian music they said. Tiny bubbles soon gave way to a "sing along" of the greatest hits of the 30's and 40's. I remember the night and the Tennesse Waltz. Oy vey.

Get me the f*** outta here 😇

In fairness I do have to admit that I have a tube coming out of my chest, attached to a machine hanging from my neck that makes sucking sounds every 10 seconds. So maybe I fit in better than I imagined. 😖

The worst part is I knew all the words to the songs!😱
