Doctor's Log
September 4, 2004
Bazooka came in today for his physical. He's still having trouble with his weight, so I stuck him on a diet. Well, it's not exactly a diet. I just restricted some of the foods he could eat and made sure he was eating healthier foods. Beach Head and Gung Ho were laughing at him until I told them they were going on the "diet" too. They stopped laughing. Gung Ho asked me if that meant no gumbo. I told him yes, but only for a little while. Healthier foods will help them recover faster.
I told Bazooka he had to come and check with me each day. This is so I can make sure he's doing what he's supposed to do. You know Bazooka, he needs supervision a lot of the time.
I let them go in the hallway again with their wheelchairs. They held another race, then Gung Ho tried to escape into an elevator. Beach Head provided a distraction by singing Toby Keith's "Whiskey Girl" song at the top of his lungs. It wouldn't have been such a good distraction except that he has a good singing voice. (Okay, it's a really good singing voice.) Wild Bill happened to be nearby and told Beach Head he was going to be recruited for the next Karaoke Night. Beach Head decided to try to escape too after that.
Gung Ho was caught when the elevator reached the bottom floor. Jinx, Kamakura and Snake Eyes happened to be waiting for the elevator when it opened. They escorted him back to the infirmary. Beach Head tried to escape by rolling his wheelchair down the stairs, but Wild Bill stopped him.
I've taken to posting guards now whenever they go into the hallway. They also weren't too happy about their dinner of soup and salad. I told them to deal with it. If they had behaved, maybe I'd have given them something from Roadblock. I decided to be a smartass and tell them if they were going to behave like children, I would treat them like children. Then I gave them each a glass of milk to illustrate the fact. They weren't happy.
I wonder if I should lock the doors at night.
