Sunday Kory, Jenny, Gina, and I went up to Philly to visit Chris in the hospital. He's recovering from a recent attack of entitilitus. Don't worry, it's not catching. He had the roommate from Hell, though. Chris's roommate was calling the nurses, doctors, wife (she was in the ICU and he was actually calling her!), and us, about everything—the TV, his morphine, the telephone, how he had to pee again, how he wanted a "room in the front", etc.—and coughing very strangely and loudly, except when talking on the phone of course. Then he decided he wanted more morphine and started yelling "NURSE! NURSE! NURSE!" very loudly instead of using his button, and treated them very rudely when they responded. The nurses seemed to like Chris a lot. One of them had overheard him the previous day reprimanding the man about how there were other sick people in the hospital and they didn't need to be stressed out by his yelling, and that he should treat the nurses with more respect. On Monday Chris's roommate went totally nuts. When the nurses arrived, Chris asked for his pain meds just so he could sleep through the screaming guy, so they did, and Chris slept through the roommate's ranting. Later, after he woke up, they carried the guy out on a stretcher to a solitary room. There's a bit more to this story but I'm driving Kory to the airport tomorrow morning at 5:00, so I'm gonna wrap it up now. Gina's parents are getting the hell out of Florida to avoid an incoming hurricane. Good luck, folks! |
