[Hospital Diary] Thursday

I wish I'd John's ability to sleep anywhere, I really do. Hospitals are always associated with not getting a lot of sleep (or having very bad sleep) thanks to nurses coming around to check your BP and such, and to move you every 2 hours. Luckily, I've nothing to do here except exist, really, so I sleep whenever I can. My leg, which is in a hard cast, is incredibly sensitive. Moving me from my side to my back is grand, but moving me onto my side can lead to very bad pain if it's prolonged. It's not their fault but boy, does it hurt. The doc was just in with some good news. Since my pain's quite low (Never more than 3 on their 1-10 scale. Leg's in a bit of discomfort but totally manageable) and I'm responding quite well to semi-solid food (mushy pasta, not actually too bad), everything comes out tomorrow. Epidural, catheter, IVs and hard cast all off/out tomorrow.
Can't wait. :)
