I finished something!

But I can't show you.  I really want to but it is a surprise for Christie of Describe Happy.  We are doing a private swap, my first!  So I am quite excited by this finished thing, so much so that I think I might just make one for myself as well.  Small projects are the way to go.  No more big projects for a while I think.  I like finishing success!

Instead, tonight I thought I might leave you with a list of thoughts that have been popping into my mind that really don't ever get thought except when you are in hospital.

 
- Nurses are amazing people, imagine having to deal with all those disgusting bodily fluids from every possible orifice.

- How do they remove people who died from their rooms without everyone seeing?

- How many people died here today? (It's a hospital, thoughts are bound to get morbid.)

- How can the catering team still have their jobs when the food is so bad and everyone complains about it?

- How is it possible to stuff up bread??? (my bread for breakfast came toasted on one side and soggy on the other)

- When can I go home?

- Why do I have to stay here when here is where I caught all these germs (5 so far) in the first place?

- Is there a Mexican Wave of toilet flushes throughout the night as one person goes then another hears the toilet flush and decides they need to go too?

- How big is the hot water system that they never run out of hot water for showers?

- Why aren't the beds longer? (they are too short for me and I am not even 6 foot)

- Why is there a door into the room next door to mine with a window on it that doesn't have a curtain? (We have taped pillow cases over it)

- What do nurses do on really quiet night shifts? Are they allowed to read a book? (I asked, and apparently, yes!)

- How do all the people who are too sick or injured to move get downstairs in a fire evacuation?

- Why can I not have a salad but I can have a salad sandwich?



Have you had any all consuming random ponderings of late?
