If you think that you're sick of staring at my pee jug...you have no idea how tired I am of peeing in them.


However, I am up and posting again, on my personal blog. I've been trying to think of all the witty things I could post and all I really keep thinking about is how Percocet makes the computer screen really fuzzy and all of the interesting and funny things I want to post are really inappropriate. So here's a little post/shout out to the hospital. For those of you who have had a hospital stay, especially one in Labor and Delivery, I think you should appreciate this.

Dearest hospital I've loved all my stays
I've loved that every doctor appt has turned into days
I've loved the mesh panties, the one size fits all
and the maxi pads so long they could carpet the hall
I love the urine catch I must empty myself
into the orange container that rests on the shelf.
I love when you tell me I'm here on bed rest
and then awake me each hour, yes that is the best.
I love eating my breakfast, my lunch and my dinner
all food that would be better flavored with paint thinner
Those 2000 calories of pork, chicken, or pork
and eggs so soggy you don't need a fork.
But at least you can have all the water you want
just know on your bill that that water will taunt
$4 a refill, $12 a pill
who doesn't love a 10 page hospital bill?
I love to detach from all of the wires and tubes
To go to the bathroom, to notice my boobs
now droop to my knees without the suppport
of a bra or a shirt when I'm wearing this fort
of a hospital gown that flaps open in back
and shows off my behind, guys cut me some slack.
I love being violated by five different nurses
that pull up my gown while I'm screaming some curses.
That root around down there until they find what they need
Oh sure sweetheart, you're still pregnant indeed.
But just to be sure some more blood we will draw
and stab you six times as your veins all have flaws
You'll wait for the doctor from 10 until 7
only to find out he's bringing down babies from heaven
so you'll sit in your bed and wait and just wait
and wonder why you were given a luxury egg crate
that smells like old people, death rotting, and urine
all the while you sit there waiting and worrying
that the smell that you're smelling might really be you
because you haven't showered since what feels like 02.
So the doc finally comes to tell you the news
you're going home today, with a list of strange do's
You do stay in bed, drink plenty of water
and have someone else watch your young son or daughter
and make an appointment for three days from now
When you'll be readmitted to the hospital, still a big preggo cow

Wow you are so talented. I think you should give a copy to the nurses. :)

I was wondering which corner of the planet you had crawled off to. Having been in Labor and Delivery recently myself, I now can empathize.

I love me some Hillary poem. It's up there with Hillary lists.

:( Oh Hil, I'm sorry. I'm sure you're giving us the censored version of your hell.
