The room seemed small. I must say that I believe this was my second week, of course there was no way to measure time. The crew that was there were terrific. Even trying to communicate with me. Perhaps it was all the anesthesia, I truly don't know.
Monitor was to my left. Door was my right. In front of me was wall and a flat screen television. To the left of the television I thought were windows and also on the left side.
Some pulmonary Dr.s and assistants came, there were talking about removing the respirator in a day or two. I was even given a board on which I tried to write. Normally my writing is chicken scratch, but with arms tied even worse. In my nose also was a tube, some vile green looking substance. I assume it was green, and I assumed it was mucus. It turned out to be a feeding thing, why that color I'll never know. But grossed me out immensely. It also answers why I was pooping so much. Bless my body and the way it is.
I recall one day a woman walking through, she was not a nurse. Seemed annoyed I was in the room and one of the nurses commented on it. She came back and I vaguely recall that she was stern. Something about how she was in charge of an event that was happening and it was a mass benefit to the hospital and such. She wanted me out of my room. Another oddity, I remember a UPS driver. Now no UPS driver would be making deliveries to ICU, but it was for the event. Weirder still, I thought it was the dude that comes to my work site.
No I never asked, it made no sense. See I work 20 minutes from the hospital, in another county, and he would not be there. It was then I saw the dude with glasses, no not mine, he wore glasses. Wanted to know why I was there and had not been removed from the respirator. I didn't much like him. He seemed to yell at the head pulmonary Dr. and I thought I heard yelling. Later there was a heavy set man at the monitors on my left. He was doing something with my monitors. In my mind erasing history, but I'm not sure. There was some more lively discussion about my coming off the respirator.
