Hi girls, how is all. I hope that it is OK. Well, i thought that after I put up a couple of depressing stories, (venting alot which I have to thank you about), i should put up a funny story. This is the story of me in a hospital. I should tell you first that I am a nurse and by the way nurses make the WORST patients (as you will find out) PS.........If you are a new hyster with fresh incision, cover the incision with a pillow and be prepared to laugh.

OK picture this a very nervous lady walks into the pre-op room to find a bunch of people witting in there waiting for there operations. I have to tell you about one inparticular. It is not very funny but imagine you are on great happy drugs and you see a lady wearing a dress that covers her from head to toe. I can't remember what they are called. Unfortunately for this lady she had glasses. So here she is with the whole ensemble on and the glasses ontop of the head piece. Me on happy drugs started to giggle and could not stop.

I was then led into the waiting room.(you get your own bed in other words) I am sitting in there and the anesthesiologist comes to talk to me and start the IV. Well seeing this guy, I swear he should have been retired about twenty years ago. He is trying to get the IV in me and I keep telling him I am a hard stick, try this, try that and of course I don't know what I am talking about and he does NOT listen. Finally he listens and low and behold he get it right away.

In the OR nothing really happens that is funny. Now here is the good part.

I am moved up to my room. You have to first know that my hubby was away on business and my mom was taking care of my three children. (7,4,2) I come up to my room and find that I have no clue where I am. I keep asking the nurses to go home. Anyhow, when the meds start to wear off the pain comes on. My kids are in the room with me and my mother, my stomach kills and the nurses are on shift change. So I am ringing the bell, my kids are yelling, my mom is yelling at the kids for yelling and I am yelling at the kids, at my mom and for any GD nurse to come and give me drugs.

I get the drugs, the kids and mom leave and I start to sleep. I wake up and don't know what time it is. My hubby wanted me to call him and tell him that I was OK. So I phone. Little did I know that it was 9 am my time and 6 am his time. To top it all off my hubby had decided to go for a couple of drinks the night before and had the worst hangover of his life. HE HE HE HE HE HE HE I sure got him for not being there. So I talk to him and then the nurses who had decided to keep me quiet was to give the drugs on the minute came and gave me more meds. I sleep. Well in a dream that I had my sister in law had come down to visit me. I am living in ontario and my sister in law is in vancouver. So i do what all nice people do I called her and from what she says had a great conversation with her and thanked her for coming and visiting me. Again more drugs. Next day.................

Kids come, mom comes, yelling at the kids (they did not take it well that mommy was in the hospital and they were taking it out on my mother.) I get more drugs. I decide to get up out of bed and have a shower. OK this is fine until I get in the shower and the floor starts to come up to me. I found out the hard way that when you pull that little bell that six nurses come running. Back to bed for me and before that happened I decided to throw up all over the six nurses. HA HA HA HA HA HA oops.

I get to go home. Well i get home and what starts a fever 104.5 so back to the hospital I go. This keeps up for three weeks. In the hospital for 2-3 days and out for 12 hours. Mom was worried, I was upset, to say the least and the kids were about to throw my mother out the window. Hubby comes home. Hubby goes to a hockey game the night that he gets back in town. It is oK girls I got him back. The next day when he comes to visit me, he decides to give me a hug just when I am feeling that I am again going to throw up. Yes I did all over him, my bed and myself. Funny eh?

I get home from that and have another three weeks of feeling like I had been run over by a truck and another three weeks of healing.

Things are OK now, hormones are all out of wack but that is my doing I think..

I hope you thought this was funny,

I think so
