Man, hospitals suck.

That doesn't begin to describe it. *If* you are able to sleep (I wasn't able to sleep during the week following my bypass surgery - couldn't breathe if I was lying down), they wake you up every three hours for a BP, or, in my case, every *other* three hours to stick a needle into me and try to suck blood out of my already abused and uncooperative veins.

I looked like a road atlas when I finally got out the last time. Between myself, my wife, my son and my mother, I have spent countless hours in hospitals, talked to innumerable doctors, nurses, techs and housekeepers and generally grown to loathe and fear those places above all else.

I always tell my family members that, if they want a demonstration of the fact that I truly care for them in a deep and meaningful way, they need look no further than their bedsides when they are hospitalized...because I fear the place so much.
