positives for my hospital stay

So I spent the last week or so in the icu at HCMC. I didnt really expect to enjoy my stay, yet there were definate pluses to it.
1.Being naked- so while i did have a gown on i was totally going commando.  oh the joy of not being tied into clothes that don't fit or just being free  ...well you get the idea.  Just so you know Anne makes me wear clothes almost every day. But I think a little naked time is important for every one.  Just keep it private.
2. Catheter- Okay two big minuses. One for going in and one for coming out.  The positive is not having to get up and go to the bathroom. Not that I could actually get up.
3. Food- Let me say hospital food overall is tasteless and cold. However a big thumbs up to my dietician who put a vanilla shake for every meal. That and fresh strawberries with pudding really kept me going.
4.Pain meds- If the definition of an addict is someone who asks for pain meds when he just wants to sleep or when he doesn't want to be part of the conversation, then I am an addict. Big plus for pain meds especially the IV ones.

So I have to say thanks to all my friends and family.  I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers and also ensuring that my family was properly fed and watered.

Your reward is to not have to wipe my rear.  Unless you really want to. I have very little modesty left.  It's like being on a OB ward except I'm not giving birth.
