Today when Lauren the Loudmouth attempted to terrorize me, I was the victor!
Yes, she shrieked full blast, but I was unperturbed because I had my earplugs in!!! I grinned at her the whole time - much like the Village Idiot - which I think unnerved her. She's clearly used to cringing, startled patients.
My early morning victory was but a sign of good things to come.
At 11:30 a.m. I was officially pronounced a False Alarm and sent along my merry way. And I almost made it out the door but some enterprising nurse recognized me and made me sit down and wait for a wheelchair because, dead or alive, you have to exit on wheels.
This is A Rule.
And now I am at home, still a little weak and fuzzy, but completely clear of any IV-drips.
And I'm looking at everything I need to do and at the collossol mess my roommates created in less than 72 hours, and I'm thinking the hospital wasn't such a bad place to be, after all....
Oh Deborah, you are a hoot! Made me laugh out loud with your story about Lauren and ear plugs. Glad you are home and the roomies are looking after you! Take care of yourself and TAKE IT EASY!!!!!!! Hugs to you.
