Ok, today may not be a funny entry. Just thinking about something. I am hanging out in the hospital today.(
A little background... My son is in the hospital with a very serious illness called HLH. He has been hospitalized pretty much constantly since the middle of May.) If you have ever spent time visiting someone in the hospital you probably already know that there is NOTHING TO DO AT A HOSPITAL. It is crazy boring here. I was just sitting here thinking about it a minute ago and it shouldn't be boring at all. It is 11:30 am. and we have already seen 3 doctors, a nurse practitioner, 2 nurses and the housekeeping staff. We have done a chest x-ray, a blood transfusion, breathing exercises, meds. changes, and consultations. This place is a freakin beehive of activity. It has patients, doctors, nurses, visitors, cleaning staff, transport staff, food sevice staff, and more! How could it possibly be so boring? So I tried to think like a bee..I am pretty good at having a buzz...(ok thats pretty weak.) It would be way entertaining to be in a beehive, provided you were a bee. If however you are a human you better just watch from the sidelines. You get in the way, you may get stung. there are protocols, and charts, and rounds to do... Very much like being in a beehive environment I think.
