Sometime during the night, after checking my bowel sounds, a nurse told me I could have some flat ginger ale if I drank it slowly. Drinking something, even flat ginger ale, was so much better than sucking on ice chips.

Sometime, I don't remember when, my doctor came in and told me the nurses told him he had “a very nice patient.” I said “Don't sound so surprised.” He smiled and left.

It was about that time that they took me off the blood pressure monitor. I was glad because that thing was really annoying.
