Hospital Trip…

Last Friday I didn’t have a blog…I was stuck in the hospital all day getting an IV. What a day it was, I was laying in the hospital thinking “Wow this is going to be boring”. Boy, was I wrong.

I get assigned to my room in the observation unit and laid down in the bed…man I forgot how comfortable these things were. So nurse #1 comes in…we make small talk and she miraculously pulls this small monitor attached to an adjustable robot arm out from the wall and places in in front of me. I thought it was hospital equipment, it ended up being the TV. I think “well this won’t be so bad after all”.

After I get situated, I watch ESPN and play on my phone. This is easy. Not until nurse #1 tries twice to hit my vein. I’m a very veiny person, so I find it odd that it always takes so many tries whenever I need a to get blood drawn. Sounds like a ME problem I guess. She gives up and gets nurse #2 to come in and do it successfully. Shortly after, I see the food menu..”Is all of this free?”..her reply: “Yes, all free.”

I ordered an omelette and a side of bacon. I enjoyed everything about it except for the fact I only received 2 pieces of bacon. TWO!? So, I ordered an entire plate of bacon. I could get used to living there. An hour later they brought me spaghetti and meatballs that I didn’t even ask for! What is this sorcery? So after a few hours nurse #3 comes in to check my blood pressure. She was cute…engage seductive Tyler. I talked to her a bit and we were enjoying each others company…until…nurse #1 came in to check my blood pressure the rest of my time there. WHY? Where is the cute nurse? i guess I can’t complain…I received a plate of free bacon. My remaining time there I just took a nap. So after 4-5 hours they finished up and I headed home. I go back in 2 weeks…MORE BACON.
