That overtly friendly young man probably was the longest…
The new check-in, bloodied face and tubes sticking out…
The snoring attendant, groaning patient
The occasional fart,
That dude that doesn’t seem to shut his eyes
The blood, the pain, the occasional siren…
Barbary -ever so bubbly and helpful – yes she seals the occasional glance
That exciting meal at your lowest of appetites
The nurse in uniform – oh! That long suffering nurse
Lying in wait in the adjacent room for someone to say there is something wrong
Her replacement that comes in the morn,
Barking out orders expecting you know how
I could almost swear her battery operated device refused to work
The sweet doctor, the doc you would love to date, the elderly non-plussed and that newbie that wants to be heard not seen
Day one of God knows how many
Get well son… So I can fall asleep properly again
