Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2008Jill update
From rec.food.cooking: Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:04:06 -0400 She was being released as of a couple of hours ago. I think she is going home to sleep the sleep of the undisturbed-by-cleaning-nurses. Home for her birthday, which is Saturday. Always a good thing. nancy > From rec.food.cooking: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > nancy Thanks for the update. Continuing purrs until she's well.

From my experience, you are lucky to get two or three hours uninterrupted sleep in the hospital before the nurse comes in again to check your vital signs or give you medicine. My worst experience was the time I was directly across the hall from the records station. The nurses kept talking at full volume all night, and, every time I would get up and close my room door so as to have quiet, they would open it again. SignatureJohn F.

I don't mind being awakened for something *medical*. I wasn't exactly sleeping soundly to begin with. But one particular nursing assistant felt it was important to wake me to up tell me she'd brought me more ice chips or was emptying the waste baskets. Woman, if it doesn't require my personal involvement why are you waking me up?! She was a chatterbox. Even when I feel good I don't like people talking to me the moment I wake up. And she wondered why I was grumpy. Sheesh. They tried that leave the door open routine with me; I nipped it in the bud. The nurses station was down the hall but I could still hear them carrying on at all hours. I'm glad you folks are having fun but there are sick people here, or have you forgotten?

I have, honest to god, once been woken up in hospital to be given a sleeping pill. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts >> I don't mind being awakened for something *medical*.

There is actually a reason behind the wake up and take your sleeping pill deal. They are only allowed to give sleeping pills up to a certain time at night. Don't recall if it is 11 PM or midnight. If you drift off before that and then wake up after the pill time, they can't give it to you. So for many of us they are doing us a favor to make sure we get the pill before its too late.

Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com Tip from an insider re location of one's hospital room proximity to "nurses station"......the closer you are to that station, the more serious your medical status (condition) OR factors such as when I was in the ICU shutting up my IV pole, going to bathroom (a big NO NO with a cath in your femoral artery, LOL, but it can be done if you're careful) and getting midnight snacks over in my dept. (radiology). I was *not* narc'd up at all; just what is called a "bad patient" and they keep a constant eye on that type...i.e. close-by-nurses-station bed. Every time I escaped the charge nurse, whom I knew well, would give me a load of New York accented obscenities. Finally my pals in xray would bring me food goodies and sneak in diet drinks, etc. You don't strike me as "bad patient" type, John, so I can only conclude you were seriously ill (didn't you have several bypasses? I was lucky both times and just got stents instead). > From rec.food.cooking: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > nancy Purrs for a quick recovery, and of course that Persia and Peaches are OK.
