11 Reasons why It’s good to have a week in the Hospital (every once in awhile)

1. You really don’t care what you look like for a week and if you’re lucky you won’t even see a mirror.
2. If you’re lucky you’ll get a super cute paramedic (not better looking than my own husband of course
3. You can entertain yourself for hours just moving your bed up, down and back and forth.
4. You can channel surf between a rerun of Friends, the News, ET Canada and Ugly Betty and no one has anything to say about it.
5. You look around your hospital room and find at least one person who’s worse off than you, which helps to put everything in perspective.
6. You have a good excuse to read all the gossip magazines, hoping you won’t have to read one more thing about Britany Spears (though she also makes your life seem better some how?!?!)
7. You don’t have to remember to drink 8 glasses of water because you’ve got a non-stop flow of IV fluids.
8. You can “cat-nap” several times a day and have no guilt.
9. Your only exercise is having to get up to go to the bathroom again.
10. The call button comes in very handy, especially when you need some good drugs to knock you out, in the middle of the night, when the man in the bed next to you won’t stop talking in his sleep.
11. If you ever had a secret desire to “flash” someone it will happen during this week whether you want it to or not!

welcome home Feather! I'm so happy you can be back home with your family! You've only been home a few hours and already you're making jokes - you do make the best out of any situation and can even find something to laugh about.
Take care,
Jillian
