Thanks for all the funny emails and PMs you guys have been sending.I am bored stupid in this place and I'll be here until Friday,at least.I got a chance to talk with some of you guys today on the phone and I really apreciate the encouraging words.I'm sorry about the burping but I really need to get those out and I don't have much control over them.
I had some small setbacks but I am doing well and all your thoughts and prayers have helped.I have had a bunch of visitors and many calls but it's the kind words I read on this board that really keep me going when everyone leaves after visiting hours are over.
I have learned a bunch about doctors since this whole thing began.These guys are really afraid of lawsuits I guess and they take great measures to cover thier asses.That's too bad because they spend so much time playing that game that patient care suffers.Most of these guys don't want to contradicted in any way and are extremely argumentative.
I have gotten some really strange gifts over the last few days.The music and movies are great and the Playboy,Penthouse,Hustler and other mags are always fun.I had somebody send me binoculars and I just can't put them down.There is all kinds of strange **** going on in downtown Chicago.(Why don't people close the blinds when they are having sex? Do they want to be seen?) I also had some Marines send me a desert blouse with my tag on it.I took a pic with it on,I'll post it when I get home.One of my good buddies bought out his 1967 Corvette with a 427 and 4-speed.He did a big, smokey burnout right outside my window.He set off every alarm in the area.That was really cool.
This new nurse is really hot-looking and super friendly.She is cutting my toe nails right now and she gave me a real nice shave about an hour ago.She only comes around late at night but I don't mind staying up to wait for her
.Her only problem is that she has a man-voice.I mean,if you talked to her on the phone you'd swear you were talking to a guy.A really girly sounding guy,but a guy.In my fantasy dream,I stuff a sock in her mouth to keep her quiet.I have different nurses for the day shift and none of them are anywhere near as beautiful as she is.
I got into a big argument with one of the hospital managers about those stupid automatic doors,the ones where you push the button and have to wheel through before the ****in' door closes on the back of your ****in' head.Why does that door only stay open 15 seconds? Did'nt they consider that maybe some wheelchair bound individuals can't get through the door that fast?
Some other questions I have pondered while sitting up late at night in this stinking hospital:
Why do they have to mop the floor in the middle of the night? How many flavors of red jello are there? Does low-sodium have to mean without taste? Where are the candy-strippers? Why do so many medical professionals have bad breath?(I pop mints all day to prevent my breath from smelling like I just ate a bowl of fresh,steamy ****,anyone who deals with the public should do the same.)Why do so many doctors have bad teeth? Why can't every sponge bath have a happy ending?
I finally have a good music system now and I think my phobia of the isolation of earphones like Etys will wear off soon.This is the perfect place for Etys.It is noisey all the time and I could probably fall asleep with them in.When I get home I'm gonna try Etys again.The sound on my Toshiba laptop is pretty good and I guess I can live with it.I have been playing a lot of music for my nurse,Veronica,and she thinks I have great taste in music.She picked up some Eva Cassidy and Tierney Sutton discs after hearing them on my set-up.
I'm sorry to ramble,Veronica is leaving now so I can get to sleep now(not on my stomach
)
