Hello everyone! Glad that Friday is around! I get to take my girlfriend home today after her being in the hospital from a surgery. This weeks' questions are about hospitals...
1) Have you ever had surgery?
2) Have you ever had any broken bones?
3) Have you ever spent the night in the hospital?
4) What do you think of the hospital food?
Sorry to be a pain...:P Enjoy your weekend!

Have you ever had surgery?
Many times
any broken bones?
1 - broke my arm in a car accident
night in the hospital?
Night...hell weeks
hospital food?
It use to suck, now it is pretty decent and they always have very fresh fruit..!!
1. Surgery - three times. Two on my ear and had my tonsils out.
2. Broke my pelvis in three places in a car accident. And this entire week I have been reminded of that.
3. Not too many nights in the hospital.
4. My BIL is in the hospital right now for an aortic aneuryism and I have to say the food is pretty darn good.
1. Surgery: several, unfortunately.
2. No broken bones
3. Lots of nights in the hospital.
4. Food sucks. They tend to either starve you, or give you too much food when you aren't well enough to eat it.
Well, wisdom teeth is the worse of it so far. Had to get a leg stitched back together. The bill said surgery although I don't consider stitches surgery.
2. Broken ribs on multiple occasions (including recently). Many broken fingers and toes over the years. Don't know why I always seem to break them playing sports.
3. Three hospital stays, once in second grade (pneumonia), college (mono) and earlier this year (auto accident).
4. My most recent experience was pretty good. I was on an unrestricted diet. The first morning, I got no breakfast and couldn't figure out why. I finally asked someone and they said I had to call the cafeteria for food. They wrote the number on a white board in the room...however, I couldn't wear my contacts due to a corneal abrasion and my glasses were in the car...I couldn't read the freakin' board!
Okay, so I call and they ask what I want. I ask what they have and they say look at the menu...there's a menu now? Well, they forgot to put one in my room but sent one right up. Good selection and the food was pretty decent.
I am not sure how it would be if you were on a special diet, but the unrestricted diet was pretty good.
Yes
yes
yes
Last time at Aurora in Kenosha was good
Surgery..
once, had a skin transplant to cover a large cut I got on my ankle after a 4wheeling accident (my fault).
broken bones...
broke my thumb in a canoeing accident (not my fault)..
night in the hospital..
Only after my girls were born.. I got to choose how long I wanted to stay after wards me and my husband stayed 2 nights with each of the girls.
Hospital food..
Awful, but I understand it's not easy feeding and pleasing an entire hospital, so it's best to keep things pretty neutral.
1) I had surgery once - removal of a hydrocele.
2) No broken bones.
3) Overnight in the hospital only once so far - when I had the surgery.
4) I've always loved hospital food. I worked at the old St Mary's when I was in college. I liked the food then, and I try to eat in the hospital cafeteria whenever I visit someone in the hospital now. I also eat whatever they leave on their plate.
1. So many times I could fill a night of drinking with war stories. Talked to a tattooist about turning scars into zippers, but found I'd run out of money before scars.
2. fingers, toe (they cut it off), collar bone, L2 vertebra.
3. Night? I lived in one for five months, stayed at another for weeks. Several one week stays Fun times.
4. Depends. On the whole it's gotten better over the years. Cardio low salt menu sucks pretty much everywhere. The absolute BEST food was at the now defunct Milwaukee Heart Hospital. WOW could order a meal at ANY time, and you got a menu, not a mass produced plate of glop. Worst was VA on the fourth of July. Nastiest greasiest, cold burnt hot dog and stale chips. I guess everyone had the day off except the patients.
Orbs the cafeteria is NOT the same food patients get stuck with. Have NEVER seen a doctor eat from a extra patients tray, but always see em in the cafeteria.
Huck, cool idea but tattoos sounds too painful compared to the coolness factor
1. yes, wisdom teeth at 18 and cataract in my 30's
2. just my baby toe, twice :(
3. just after having my girls
4. not horrendous but could use a bit more improvement, they HAVE come a long way tho
Had outpatient surgery when I was a freshman on my left big toe to remove an infected ingrown toenail. He gave me a numbing shot in all four corners of the toe and I still felt it.
Nope. Pulled, strained, yanked, twisted, cracked just about everything in my body but never broken any bones.
Spent one night in the hospital after a morning of drinking I was coughing up blood and called 911... two minutes later right before the officer walked in I was passed out in my bathroom sink.
Hospital food seems to be okay here in La Crosse... Ive only stayed in one of the two hospitals though.
Welcome, Holly! If you are the slight bit irregular, you'll fit right in! :)
If you ever choose to post your own blog or message here, just send an email request for an author account to "the sheriff!"
1) Yes, 2 of them. A leg operation and a hernia.
2) Yes, I broke my finger in the press I work on last year.
3) Yes, twice.
4) Not too shabby. I ate in the hospital cafeteria last night.
Welcome, Holly.
Huck, I get your point. You have much more experience than I do in that regard. Still, the food I've mooched from patients I've visited has always been good. I've eaten delicious stuff that my mom has refused in the hospital. To me, "good" food is food that someone else has made.
Lizardmom's reply made me think, I've lied again: I also had surgery to remove 2 impacted wisdom teeth. That was done in an oral surgeon's office, but I was knocked out, so does it count?
Friday is lie-day for me.
1. Twice
2. Broken ankle...five months in a cast.....
3. Never spent the night there as a patient...many, many nights as a spouse.
4. I have to say the food at Fawcett in Port Charlotte wasn't bad at all....and the staff (although you didn't ask this question) was phenomenal. They stopped to see me at the library more than a year after my husband's death.
