I started out my nursing career in long term care. After that you are doomed to having only one association with the word 'fleet'.
When that idiot bank named itself Fleet, I used to wonder how come with all their money no one ever told them this was a really bad idea. I used to gag every time I drove by one.
At any rate, here's a few ways to avoid such a fate. If you're not on fluid restrictions, drink four ounces of water every half hour. Have some fruit after every meal and snack on it too. Try to have a bowl of bran cereal (or something like it that tastes good) once a day. Take a pericolace every night until you find your umm...pattern.
Immobility and narcotics are a brutal combo. But you don't have to go to, er, extremes if you try the above. I don't know why they don't teach patients this stuff before they leave the hospital. It's so much easier than the alternative.

ReplyDeleteKnowing how those feel, I'll bet you thought they were floating a bunch of the first picture into your butt, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteHope you get better Crotchety.. I know that we never heal fast enough, but take your time, and get it done right!
I bet you hadn't planned on having a capton this contest, heh? All were great comments.
ReplyDeleteDo destroyers have a poop deck?
I've been offline for awhile. Great to see you have internet access again and can post. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
