Show R DTALM GEJOH 0 B R2 2004 room. He said No sir I m not going to give you the key to that room. I m g ing t ask you one more time. Now, I don't want any trouble with you. My wife was itting there biting her fingernails. I reached over and I grabbed that guy and I pulled him over. I was a weak runt from what I was when I went overseas, but I pulled him up over that counter. I said, "I'm going to give you one more chance. Are you going to give me that key or am I going to beat the hell out of you?" He said, "I'll give you the key." I shoved him back against the key rack and he gave me the key. Anyway, Irene was almost in tears. She thought I was going to ... of course, she remembered me from years before when I was that way. But I didn't. I kept my cool. We finally got into our room and there was a lot of hugging and kissing and talking and lot of remembering and a lot of getting reacquainted. It had been a long time. That's the way it was. Anyway, they sent me to the hospital in Seattle. There he examined me and said, "When was your last leave." I said, "What are you talking about? I haven't had any leave since I've been in the Navy." He said, "You've never had any leave?" I said, "No." He said, "Well, we're going to give you thirty-days leave." I said, "Well, that's nice." He said, "But then we're going to send you to the hospital closest to where you live. Where do you live?" I said, "I live in Salt Lake." I said, "I don't know but I hear there's a hospital in Sun Valley, Idaho." The Navy had taken over that hospital. Did you know about that? They had. They turned it into a hospital. I said, "I hear there's one in Sun Valley, Idaho." That isn't very far from here. So he got out a book and he says, "Yes, there's a hospital." So he wrote out my hospital records to go for thirty days and then report back to Sun Valley to the hospital. So we went home and had a wonderful thirty days together and I reported back to Sun Valley, Idaho, the hospital. 25 |
