I've been in and out of various hospitals over the last 30 years or so.... [View all]
At last count I have been in the hospital for a total of 125 days, give or take a couple of hours for drunken wounds and childhood mishaps...
I am amazed at how much stuff has changed.
I remember being able to smoke in the stairwells back in the 70's.
Tonight I have my computer with wifi at real great speed. I also have cable with a couple pay stations for free.
There is great competition amongst the different hospital systems here in Cleveland, Ohio. It seems we are a sick bunch of people. But the world famous Cleveland Clinic, I am at a satellite hospital right now, is always flying in big shots from all over the world to get worked on.
The one thing I can abide though is how bland the food has gotten over the years.
MrsWCGreen was kind enough to bring me granola bars, vitamin waters and crackers and peanut butter to get through the crappy food.
I remember when I was in the hospital in Columbus I would order pizzas to be delivered to my room that I shared with another bed, sometimes full, sometimes empty.
Last night I watched the second episode of The Hatfield's and McCoys off the history channel website. Good headphones I brought in and it shuts down the din that ebbs and flows through the day...
