21. You're lucky to be living in an area with "patient friendly" hospitals.

The last hospital I was in did not allow ANY electric appliances. No laptop for me! As far as television is concerned, three channels. Period. Food is unidentifiable. Fortunately, they want to get you out of the hospital as soon as possible. The feeling was mutual.

Glad they let you sneak snacks in. :^) Hope you are well soon! GreenPartyVoter Jun 2012 #1
