yesterday i had a very...let's say eventful day. here are some of the things i learned:
1. i don't do well with losing a lot of blood. although i should have known that because i have never been very successful at donating blood.
2. when you dial 911, expect a lot of people to be in your house in just a matter of a minute or so.
3. riding in an ambulance isn't that exciting and not actually that different from riding lying down in a van. the plus is you get help and a bed right away in emergency.
4. there really isn't very much to look at when you lie flat on your back.
5. doctors in "merg" don't keep their voices down and don't seem to be that worried about the patient's privacy. i must say that that does actually provide with some entertainment to break up the monotony of lying on your back for hours.
6. in nanaimo, most of the people in the hospital are elderly. i saw only one that wasn't.
7. in general, health care workers are a very kind, caring, compassionate sort of people.
8. quizno's makes a very yummy brocoli cheddar soup.
9. one eventful day can be just that: an eventful day. and then one's life can go back to being completely normal again. it is kind of a weird feeling.
