Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
That oxygen is brutal on the nostrils, huh?
BP went down when they took it immediately after the treadmill test. Doc said “That’s odd.”
only you... heh heh... glad yer still kickin'...
I hardly got any sleep...some poor soul moaned loudly all night long.
God bless 'em... I hate that... I shared a room with a guy last time that babbled incoherently and yelled for the nurse all nite long...
yes’m...
You woulda been proud. I was the model patient. Even when the guy came in to take my blood in the middle of the night, I was cooperative.
I thanked him and he said “It’s an honor.”
:-)
I hope they get your meds figured out so you won't have to worry about it!
Well, I think I’m going to take a warm soak and go relax on the recliner.
Same here, except the noise was from the heart monitor down at the Nurse's station. It was beeping all night long! That, on top of being woken up at all hours for temp or BP, then having blood drawn at dawn, didn't make for a restful stay. My room-mate had a hearing problem, so she kept her little TV at a LOUD LEVEL all day and half the evening. It was hard to hear folks talking, when I had visitors. SirKit let me use his noise canceling headphones so I could listen to my own TV, or to David's I-Pod, on which David had loaded two Christmas CD's he'd gotten for me.
Yep, It was great to get a full, uninterrupted night’s sleep! Except for having to get up and go to the bathroom, that is. ;o)
Heh...cute!
So...who’s who?
You did lots better than I would’ve, that’s for sure.
And the President’s on the other line...
Excellent, that pretty well sums up the series. Good Catch.
Very relieved to hear you’re home. There’s no place like home..especially for getting better. OB & LSA
Well, so far so good, apparently power is still on at theridge. Take care down there.
We’re with you, outside watching things grow (especially consumibles) helps with all our mental healths. Gypsy is looking forward to the new crop of bunnies and squirrelz to chase.
