3. Wow, that's great!
Tell her to get plenty of rest and not to try to do too much too soon.

18. OMG OMG OMG ~ I've done it again ... damn
*note to self* due to severe senior moments ... must review ALL Boston picture threads before D. C.

my bad I'm so very very sorry ... it wasn't you ... it was being around strangers overload for me ( first time in years for me to be in any group never mind A ROOM FULL OF STRANGERS)... I introduced myself to matcom 3 times in the same afternoon.

4. It's the one time you feel guilty for making someone laugh
I still bet she appreciated hearing from you, though.

Give her a long distance :hug: when you talk to her next.

10. Another note.
If someone is in the hospital after being shot, don't ask them how they feel. And don't pat them on the wounded shoulder (very hard) and say get better. And if they cringe when you do that don't ask Did that hurt.

SHEESH

14. Friends, Family, People I hardly know, Nurses, Doctors...
WHO DID THE GOD DAMN SURGERY!!!! All of them wanted to touch that side. When I went white and sucked in air, it was always, "oh I am sorry, did that hurt?" No I always turn white and make my eyes roll back in my head.

22. I am ok. It could get frustrating.
But, i just laughed and grinned about it. I just wish doctors would learn. Yes it does hurt like hell when you do that.

I hope Sugar Smack does not have to endure that. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

31. I remember taking Phil into the ER with a broken foot doctors & nurses
were bumping into his foot as they went hurrying past his wheelchair. Some people just don't have any sense at all.

Hopefully Sugar will be going home very soon and the worst thing she'll have to worry about is keeping her cat from loving her too much.
