hospitals vs. prison war

I think that hospital stays are one of the worst things ever. Besides prison. Although they do have some similarities. Let's compare.

1. Prison: you have a toilet in your cell that is wide open for anyone to view and you have to share with your cell partner. Sounds like bowel movement torture to me. Poor cell mate
Hospital: you must push your call light and wait forever for someone to come and take you to the bathroom that is smaller than a sardine can to the point where your IV pole won't fit thus forcing you to leave the door open and at any moment someone could come into your hospital room.

2. Prison: violent and very loud inmates that yell all day even at night
Hospital: old people have been known to spit on people yell senile things at the top of their lungs so EVERYONE can hear it all night long.

3. Prison: food is hardly edible
Hospital: slightly upgraded food but at least you have choices on what you want

4. Prison: You obviously cannot leave prison and most of the time you are lockup in a cell
Hospital: your hospital room becomes your torture chamber because you can't even get out of bed without a "butt monitor" going off. (I will explain butt monitor soon)

5. Prison: frequent wake up calls all night due to "men" that are out of control and act like 2 year olds
Hospital: you get woken up every few hours for vital signs, inhalers, blood draws (at 2 and 4 am), medications exc.

6.Prison: you have a roommate and you better pray that they don't have a murder conviction and they have to be one of your own people so you don't get shanked or something.
Hospital: sometimes you do have a roommate and sometimes not but you never know what they are going to do or say or YELL. Yell a lot. Such as "aww Lordy forgive me for my sins" ALL THE TIME

7. Prison: you must be aware at all times to ensure you aren't stabbed
Hospital: they can legally stab you with needles all the time

8. Prison: you must shower in a room full of other naked people. Nasty.
Hospital: you have to have a tech in the bathroom watching you shower or in some cases like mine you aren't even allowed to shower at all while in the hospital

**there is more but let's stop now. You got the point**

1. Butt monitor is a feature of the hospital bed that makes an alarm go off if you get out of bed. If you even move in bed it will send it off. On the plus side, you do get to say your butt is going off and that is always a good time.

HEALTH UPDATE

For one, I AM HOME!!!!! 7 days in the hospital is just bleck. I have a feeding tube surgically implanted in my abdomen and I now do tube feedings at night and can eat as tolerated during the day. I no longer have to stress about it which is great. So that's that. I am in pain from my incision but overall I feel a little better with the nutrition in me.

I cherish everyone's prayers and they are not in vain. God is good even when we don't like how a process is going we just have to remind ourselves that the last step of any process is right into God's arms.
