What is it with my luck , if you can say that , he he , when I am in the mixed ward in hospital . I spent last night in a high dependancy unit with an equal mix of male and females. 3 of the men were constantly in a state of undress , and one of them got up to the loo and came back naked as a jay bird. Do you have any funny tales of either when you were an inpatient , or visiting .? x

I was so high after an operation I pulled all the things I was attached to out and went wandering off to the loo. I came back and that was a bit of a flurry around my bed so I dutifully stood next to them all and slurred 'what's going on?' or words to that effect.
After being put back to bed and reattached to the drip and royaly told off I was asked why I got up by myself. I dutifully replied that I'd asked the Dr who said it was ok. The burse asked what Dr (it was approx 2am) and I informed them it was the Dr with the mop and bucket.
I still don't remember this.

Eleven years ago I was in Hillingdon Hospital with some rather severe peritonsillar abscess. I was scheduled for surgery. The morning of the surgery I had been given a mild sedative as part of the process leading to my being put to sleep for the relatively simple op.
I was definitely in a daze when the aid began preparing me to be rolled into theatre. He said �Hi Bill,� are you ready? I quietly responded �yes.� I could hardly speak. He rolled me to the anteroom that leaded to the theatre. There, one of the staff inserted a line into my vein, and straightened me on the gurney As the young man leaned over me � he had a nice, comforting smile, he asked me � now Bill, this shouldn�t take too long. Typically, an orchiectomy can take less than thirty minutes � depending on how many sutures are required. All I said was �thanks.� But just as the words were leaving my mouth, a gnawing sense was rising from within. This word..this word�orchiectomy. It didn�t sound right.
At that second, I don�t know which came first- the theatre nurse now standing before me, looking at my wrist band to match my name against her chart instructions, or my starting to fly up from the gurney in an absolute state of panic. But I do know I must have flown up fast as I accidentally knocked the chart out of her hand as I scrambled to sit up and escape.
�Wait a minute,� she said, hardly acknowledging I was trying to scramble off the gurney, �you�re not William Harmond, are you?� There was no way I let those two staff keep me on that gurney! I walked out of the anteroom, with that tasteful yet exposed hospital gown on, bum flying in the wind as I scrambled back to my bay.
Poor soul, William Harmond had much more to be fretting about than I.
It wasn�t funny at the time. But it has certainly made the rounds with my friends and at the most inopportune times, someone just has to tell the story.

Hey Bigmamma :o)
Sorry to hear you weren't feeling so good and had a spell in the hospital :o(
I spent all last week in hospital too but as a visitor as my hubby was admitted week last Sat but he came home last Thurs and is doing ok now. The old boy who was in the bed next to him and extremely deaf (the nurses kept telling him off for having the telly up so loud) had to have a flush out so they could inspect his colon (or certainly in that area anyway!) so gave him some tablets to make him go to clear him out. The Doctors on their rounds said to him "And we gave you something to make you go to clear you out, and what was it like?" and he replied "Hmmm it tasted a bit sweet" Well that just had everyone in fits of the laughter and it took the Doctor a few mins to compose himself and rephrase the question to ask him what his motions were like!!!
It certainly lightened the mood I can tell yer! lol
Laughter is the best medicine sometimes :o)

Our eldest daughter was in hospital again a little while back & an old lady in the ward kept undressing herself, then going ito the corridor, opening up the Emergency Exit & setting offf the alarm. There wasn't anything anyone could do to stop her & she wore the nurses out, poor things!
