Things I learned this weekend
Posted by barb on Jun 14, 2004 in Random Thoughts |
- Sleep in a hospital is a myth. It’s like the short line at the DMV; it’s just an illusion. Once I got up to the room from the ER, I thought, great, now I can finally get some rest. Silly, naive me. There was constant dinging outside the door at the nurse’s station, and each time I thought I might just dose off, another person would come into the room to pester me for one thing or another.
- Andrew is the most wonderful man in the world. He not only stayed with me in the ER, but he ran home to get an overnight bag, and called my parents to let them know what was going on. He came in the next moring just to sit with me, and stuck by my side the whole time, despite my descent into utter crankiness.
- It doesn’t matter how you really feel, there is nothing like a thermometer under your tongue to make you feel sick.
- Some of the tests they do are way cool…I’m just glad they all came up negative for me.
