Thursday Thirteen - 27th Edition








13 things I have learned while hanging out at the hospital the last couple of days.


1. There are some really sweet nurses.
2. Doctors can be very intimidating
3. If your loved one is not in a private room and the person in the room doesn't have any family there, you will probably help them get their pillows situated and go get the nurse for them as well...
4. It is sometimes easy to get lost in the hospital.
5. The IV machine beeps way to often.
6. If you accidentally take people's seats in the waiting area, even though all they left was a magazine on the table, they might give you a dirty look.
7. Even toddlers can tell that something is amiss when at the hospital.
8. After a while and not much sleep everyone can wear on your nerves.
9. Walking down long empty corridors at night can make you start thinking about the scary movies that you no longer watch.
10. If 6 people walk into the ICU room together you are going to be questioned.
11. It doesn't matter how many times you have done it, you are never sure which floor to go to so you can get to where you parked.
12. If your hungry, hospital cafeteria food is not bad at all!
13. Family is great!

Have a great Thursday Thirteen!!!

I haven't stopped by in a couple days and didn't know about your dear grandma. I'm sorry to hear about this. I'm glad she made it through the surgery and I hope she has a speedy recovery.

You're right about the long corridors reminding you of scary movies. Eek... the other thing is I always seem to come home with some type of cold after visiting someone in the hospital. Let's hope that doesn't happen to you :)

I hate hospitals. Hate them. But agree that nurses can be the best people in the world.

Happy TT!

The hospital food I had made me prefer to be hungry. Ick.

Hope your Granny is doing better & better everyday! I've never been one for hospitals, I practically feel like I'm having an anxiety attack just walking into one, but sometimes you have to go. Happy TT!

Well I hope all is well no matter what the reason was that you had to be at the hospital. I learned a long time ago the only time the hospital is a nice place is to have a baby! The only happy thing that happens in a hospital besides getting out of there!! :)

You would probably enjoy reading my 13 annoying things that get on my nerves about the Internet!
