After A Week In The Hospital

 Ten random thoughts:

1.  I had first-class care.....finding almost no criticisms.

2.  Food-wise....it did get 'boring' after the 5th day.

3.  I probably watched twelve hours of CNN/BBC over the 6 days.  Yeah, there is still a element of propaganda existing.

4. It was pretty nifty to have a refrigerator in the room (pull-out drawer) and sip cold liquids.

5.  Nurse came by one morning while I was on the inverted hospital bed (my feet about a foot above my head), and got a pulse rate of 40 out of me.  He and the Doc got concerned.  I was ultra-relaxed that morning.  If I had a hiding place in the house for a hospital bed....yeah, I'd buy one.

6. The 'cantina' in the clinic offers beer.

7.  On my index of ultra-boring....1-to-10....it was a '12'.

8.  To step in.....finally getting to a bed....I had to encounter and pass through 12 offices/steps.  Luckily, it was not an emergency.

9. Free coffee.....all day long.  

10.   Free bananas and free pears....all day long. I probably haven't eaten a pear since the 1980s.
