Doctors and Nurses
I saw the visiting nurse this morning and was able to take over the packing of my wound. Never thought I'd be able to do such a thing...it's gross, but healing pretty quickly. It doesn't look like I'll be needing the nurse at all anymore. Wahoo...freedom.
I thought I'd give you a list of interesting hospital observations.
1. Gotta love the hospital bed with buttons for turning the lights off and on, tv control, moving the bed, calling the nurse, and the phone attached.
2. Nurses are heroes. They are servants. How they can do the things they do for others is beyond me. They put up with so much abuse from hurting people, yet still wash their backs and feet. Reminds me of someone.
3. There seems to be an abundance of attractive Dr.s/residents, students at Hershey Med. Center.
4. Ice chips are like manna from Heaven
5. Our bodies are not always a wonderland, sorry John Mayer...especially when your hair hasn't been washed for a week, you have tubes coming out of you in strange places, are swollen, and your insides feel like they are exploding with nowhere to go.
6. Sunny days while in the hospital make life a tad more bearable and hopeful.
7. Don't ever let the pain get ahead of your meds. Pump the morphine if you've got it. Be honest with yourself and others, don't try to be strong.
8. You cry when you enter the hospital and cry when you leave...this time out of both nervousness and joy.
