Thirteen Things about Rochester General Hospital

We've had a little adventure this week. Jessi's eye swelled up like a balloon Saturday and she ended up in the hospital. We went into emergency Saturday night around 11 and she was discharged Monday morning around 11:15. This is a picture taken Sunday evening and already the swelling had gone down considerably! We've dubbed her 'Petey' after the dog in Little Rascals cuz they drew a nice black ring around the swelling in permanent marker so that they could see if the swelling had gone down.

Seeing as today is Thursday AND seeing as we've had this little adventure, I thought we'd write "Thirteen Things about Rochester General Hospital".

1. Service is slooooooow.
2. Their eggs are disgusting but their blueberry muffins are yummy. (According to Jessi anyway. I ended up eating Jessi's eggs and I must say - they were pretty yuck but I didn't get even 1 bite of that muffin!)
3. The bed goes up and down and every which way and can be quite amusing - especially when there isn't much else to do!
4. Someone comes in to check your blood pressure, or your temperature, or to give you more medicine or SOMETHING all night long!!!
5. They give you a beautiful personalized bracelet which you can take home with you as a momento from your visit.
6. If you want to watch TV you have to cycle through the channels until you get to the one that you want. If you happen to miss the channel that you want (I did that once), you have to go through them all over again and there are over 70 channels!! By the time you find the station you want your show could be half over.
7. They ask the same questions over and over and over again.
8. Most everyone is helpful and nice and they really seem to care.
9. Their game room has Connect 4 and Rummycube and all sorts of other games and books to help you pass the time away.
10. The halls are freezing! But our room was nice and toasty cuz you have your own heater/thermostat in your room. Thank you Lord!!! :)
11. They make you pee in a 'hat' (I think that's what they called it) so they can measure it. YUCK!
12. Their recliners are NOT comfortable to sleep in! I ended up in bed with Jessi.
13. They give you a pair of fuzzy slipper socks so you don't slip and fall and end up in the hospital!!
