encouragement (of a sort)

it's fairly well-known that hospitals
are not exactly the happiest places
to be.

however,
if you look pitiful
at the nurses,
they will give you sympathy painkillers
(I speak from experience).

the food isn't really that bad,
I guess,
just don't eat the chicken nuggets--
they look like breaded balls
of used napkin,
and kind of taste like it too.
but that's why we have friends, isn't it?
if you look pitiful at them,
they give you food.
cool, huh?

occasionally,
there are video games
down the hall,
or books of some sort;
but really, you don't need those.
you get a television
of your own
attached to a flexible arm
so you can twist it anywhere you like.
really,
the whole hospital thing
is worth it
just for that.

oh, and by the way?
wheelchairs are fun.





in all seriousness, though,
best of luck, love.
I'll be praying for you.

    This is really cute and a play on the hospital theme that would make anyone chuckle at the thought. I hate hospital food, especially rolled napkins that taste like nuggets....or is that the other way around. lol!!!!!!Anyway, you did a great job and I love how you ended the piece, just brilliant. I wish you the very best in the contest.

      -grins- I know, right? Actually, the hospital I was at... wasn't so bad, food-wise. Except the nuggets. Oh, dear Rassilon, the NUGGETS. -twitch-
      Thank you!

    Thanks for the prayers and good wishes. I do know all about hospitals simply because I work at one. My surgery if everything goes well will be an outpatient surgery so no time spent at a hospital. However, I'll be in a sling unable to use my arm for like 6-8 weeks... and on top of it. I am right handed and it's my right arm having the surgery. Shhh.

    But thanks for writing the encouragement. Made me smile. And that's important to me.
