    I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

    • do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
    • can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
    • do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
    • have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
    • are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!

      24/7 EEG

      other stuff was done last month

      idk about uber eats, I’m poor lol.

      I love crunchy ice, I’ll have to ask.

      I give myself washcloth baths in the bathroom ; it’s ok.

      Ha, they all have kids, idk if they are pregnant. A lot have those fancy flag pins now, and it’s a metro hospital so maybe pregnancy is going out of style.

      I think you know what’s in the water.

      not here. but there was a resident doctor whom I really hated: looked 18, acted like he was 40, mind of a 4 year old. They never should of let him graduate high school.
