hospital stays a little rant

[GrayGhost]

durning this stay in the hospital I relized when you check in you leave all dignity at the door, that they measure every thing, weight height blood presure let along what goes in and comes out. Which crossed my mind if I could have snuck inn some lead shot to add to my stools now that would have got them real puzzled why is he passing way moore then what going in and he not loozing any weight, mmm and them IV thing that have to be plugged into the wall why are the cords so short gee it bad enough when you start getting up there in age and you have to go in the middle of the night to have to find the darn plug in just so you can unplug it to take the IV stand in to the bath room to go potty, I started finding myself singing that little old song My Buddy form that old cormercial every time I went to the rest room. Well now on this stay I was treated with radio active Iodine 131 man o man you think it hard to get a nurses attaintion before just have a bio hazard radiation sign put on the room of your door that not to mentiion being in a lead lined room in the first place, tolit rapped in plastic rap special paper runner on the floor where you walk door handles rapped, them there little plastic flim badges the medical staff wore with the paper suits and booties to make a guy feel all so welcome to be there mmm guess I just had to get it all off my chest well thanks all for listoning.

I have only good thing to real say about the staff it just the whole thing about hospital and I am only willing to be nice and copertive with the nursing staff it a tuff job. It just seem to me the whole thing is like a comic opra having to dance around with the IV stan and look for the plug while that I am older blader control is a little tuff. I do understand that they all haft to be protected form the treatment that they are putting you through this was no way a hack at the nurse or the hospital turly it was just ment to be a look at the comic end of things.

Just don't jerk the I.V. out. They get really pissed about that. It does make you much more mobile though.

Just remember... It beats the heck outta being dead! Keep your chin up, friend. You'll be out of there soon. (Or make your wife bring your vise for ya, so you'll have some flies to occupy your time)

For goodness sake! Is there a sink in your room, within reach of the IV power cord?? If you pee in it a few times they'll find a portable duct for you, or be there quicker when you need the help to get to the potty! I'm sorry if this is out of line, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!!
Keep your humor! It's POWER!!!
So glad you have the computer there with you! We're all right here ... ready to be helpful ()

If #1 in the sink doesn't get their attention, I am reasonably certain #2 would.

Sounds like something Dad would have done.

oh I am now out of the hospital but interestingly enough on my stay when they put the steel rod into my leg to keep it from breaking they had move my pee bootles and I didnt know where I was the nurses were realy slow about anserwing the call button so I peed in a trash can later did say I was sorry but I thought the trash can was the best choice between in bed on myself or just on the floor, I did know where the sink was do to amount and kind of painkiller they had me on. In the last 5 months basicaly I have had 4 major surgerys and have spent over a month in the hospital so I do have some nurse who think I am one of the nice people alive today and some who think I am the devil who came to make there lives a living hell oh well.
