wateroverstone I'm in Whitehaven hospital now with a view of the hills and road home.i have the window bed on the noisy side of the ward not because I'm noisy but because I have the ability to sleep through world war three and the TV thebed opposite me needs on all night is welcome rather than otherwise as it drowns out some of the shouts and screams. Last night's entertainment started with the bed diagonal to mine deciding she could see her husband ( who has been dead for years) The nurses checked to see if there was a wanderer from the men's ward further down but it was her imagination .Next to me began yelling for pain killers and didn't shut up until they were administered when the yells changed to why am I in pain? What is causing it, When will they work..the nurses then staged an emergency intervention . for me as they were concerned at the position I was sleeping in, which had us all in giggles as they rolled me over and moved all my carefully wedged pillows
I slept through the rest of the nights entertainment until bed two woke us all singing those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end and bed one rang her family. She starts every conversation demanding to know who she has rung bed two , as usual refused to take her pills until she had had breakfast then turned every breakfast option down as she wanted a full English which isn't available and isn't allowed toast as she is on a soft diet.. she then has two of the pills withher tea and tries to avoid the others. It's usually at this point that she loses one down her nightie or spills water over the rest today's shenanigans allowed me to sleep until 10am when it was decided enough was enough and I had coffee delivered.Sadly the poweredchair I've been using is refusing to switch on so I've spent today sat byvy bed rather than having the freedom of the hospital wg ye cursor as I typenhich in oreality means Costa Coffee or the bench in the un opposite the carpark. Apologies for the grammar and spelling, the phone I'm using has gained a mind of its own and isn't interested in cooperating with me .Thanks to everyone who has passed on best wishes or written s r for my delectation and delight. I'll comment when I've tamed this phone and it stops randomlymoving the cursorwithin the text.
