She was being released as of a couple of hours ago.
I think she is going home to sleep the sleep of the
undisturbed-by-cleaning-nurses.

Home for her birthday, which is Saturday. Always a good
thing.

I bet she will be glad to get some uninterrupted sleep. From my
experience, you are lucky to get two or three hours uninterrupted sleep
in the hospital before the nurse comes in again to check your vital signs
or give you medicine. My worst experience was the time I was directly
across the hall from the records station. The nurses kept talking at
full volume all night, and, every time I would get up and close my room
door so as to have quiet, they would open it again.

Purrs for a quick recovery, and of course that Persia and Peaches are OK.

I don't mind being awakened for something *medical*. I wasn't exactly
sleeping soundly to begin with. But one particular nursing assistant felt
it was important to wake me to up tell me she'd brought me more ice chips or
was emptying the waste baskets. Woman, if it doesn't require my personal
involvement why are you waking me up?! She was a chatterbox. Even when I
feel good I don't like people talking to me the moment I wake up. And she
wondered why I was grumpy. Sheesh.

They tried that leave the door open routine with me; I nipped it in the bud.
The nurses station was down the hall but I could still hear them carrying on
at all hours. I'm glad you folks are having fun but there are sick people
here, or have you forgotten? LOL

But maybe not just *anything* medical?

I have, honest to god, once been woken up in hospital to be given
a sleeping pill.

LOL! (You may or may not be glad to learn you are not alone in having
that experience.)

There is actually a reason behind the wake up and take your sleeping
pill deal.

They are only allowed to give sleeping pills up to a certain time at
night. Don't recall if it is 11 PM or midnight. If you drift off
before that and then wake up after the pill time, they can't give it
to you.

So for many of us they are doing us a favor to make sure we get the
pill before its too late.

I actually do appreciate this fact but seeing it happen a few times to my
room-mate in the hospital was no less funny.
