By the lab reports he is. He feels worse or maybe he is actually more aware of how bad he feels. Sounds like they will have a room for him today. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in the emergency department since Tuesday evening. Now in a room but unfortunately with a roommate which sucks. He feels crappy and I suspect this won’t go super well.

Barry is one of those things that if it's your choice it can be soothing and relaxing. If not, the roommate will do anything to leave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I have been trying to do individually wrapped things because of the COVID. I left a tote bag with a variety of candies, peanut butter snack crackers, and individually wrapped Walker's Shortbreads. Maybe tomorrow I will stop and get a giant box of individual packages of trail mix or something else that pretends to be healthy. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get the latter. But unfortunately hospitals are rarely restful places. My troublesome roommate was discharged during the day. I was VERY glad he was gone... I had 'my' room until 12:30 AM (yeah zero dark 30). That was when my new roommate was moved into our room. Talk about not a restful place. I'd bet it was 2 hours later when all the tests, set up for stuff, etc... was done. I didn't sleep very good on a 'quiet' night... The nights are NOT that quiet at a hospital. The new roommate was very quite... I suspect it was because he was very sick... He didn't talk much at all. 3 hours ago, Airehead said: He is feeling a bit better tonight.

I was at home recovering for another week. And then I worked for a few days at the local office. (only a 4 mile drive) I was soooo weak... I needed time to recover and build my strength. I remember WoBG visiting me at the hospital, I needed to start walking again. I walked about 70 feet down the hallway. I turned around and walked back to my room. WoBG... was confused. She wanted me to walk the entire length of the hallway. This was a BIG hospital, that would have been a loooong way. I told her I felt like I just ran a marathon. @Airehead, more prayers for Einstein... I remember how weak I was... and how long it took to get back to normal. Hoping for a fast recovery... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted September 27, 2021 Share #177 Posted September 27, 2021 The hospitals don’t believe in the old saying “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. They kept bugging me to tell them how they did and how I liked my hospital experience. I told them you don’t want to know. They insisted that they did want to know so I told them that my roommate should have had a private room. He needed way too much attention to be sharing a small room. Ever since I told them that I have had a nice big private room. I think my private room was bigger than my shared room. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
