Hospital Life submitted by Lill Caplins

Hospital Life

Life in the Hospital goes like this.
To start the day: a little basin to clean all
With the entrance of the Grand Slam Breakfast,
Next the Physical Therapist with the walker,
Slowly, painfully a few steps down the hall.
Followed by the O.T. teaching living skills

Back to the room with a sigh of relief
Into the chair absolutely no beef
Nurse tech, your blood pressure and pulse checks
Medicines arrive, in a sec.

With a nod of the head, a soft doze you go.
Again a tray is set smack at your nose.
You scan the tray, exclaim with a shout,
“Too much to eat, with out a doubt’.
As the Physician breezes in and out.
With a humph and a ha!
Nice long nap in the easy chair
Snoring away without a care.

Awaken in time for the evening news
Phone calls arrive to chase the blues.
Dinner comes in a sudden surprise

Bath room chores very wise

Visitors pour in with gifts galore
Care and love graciously poured
Wait! Food is here, as before
Eat the food, so there is no uproar
A little of this, a little bit of that
Appetite isn’t one to make one fat.
With the help of the nurse, back to bed, a sigh of relief
