how many of us had to stay at hospital for days??

I was in Hospital for 4 dayz last September. I was diagnosed there. i was suffering from regular backaches and some woman related problems. I stayed there all d time wishing that time should elope soon. My mom,dad , hubby n siblings were all d time wid me. My mom used to stay at night. Really that time was very hard for me. Doctot told me that I have to take medicines for six months, I m still on medicines waiting for me to get well soon .

As a child I was often in the hospital for long stretches of time. If people had visited me often I wouldn't have minded so much I think, but my family wasn't very good about that. The first few times I remember being very very unhappy, and doing things like ripping out my IV and trying to escape. However, one time there was a little boy who kept sneaking into my room to talk to me, and after that I realized that if he could make an effort to make me not be lonely, then I could do that for other kids too. And I had some very nice staff taking care of me. One nurse used to bring me new books to read all the time, and I loved her so much. I didn't like kids books, which was all the hospital library had, so she would actually bring her own books for me or get some from the city library. I still don't think it's wonderful being in the hospital for a long period of time, but there are things that make it worthwhile. And it sounds like at least your father had his family around him a lot.

there was once that i was admitted into the hospital for appendicitis in a different state. Therefore, my parents were not there to accompany me. It was a very scary experience as that was the first time i was admitted into the hospital and the first time being wheeled into the operation room. I used to be a clinic assistant for an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist in a hospital, but when you are the one going through all those, it's really frightening. The worst part was when i cannot eat anything, yet, my neighbor seems to have the best hospital food ever..let me tell you, hospital food was the best food ever back then :D

I've had a few hospital stays myself actually...i had to stay in the hospital in Toronto for a week for surgery on my feet when I was 13...I was in for a week on two seperate occasions when I was preg wiht my youngest....and I've done shorter visits as well....and I stayed with my oldest when he ended up in for a week when he ws two or so....I sometimes hate hospitals but alot of it has to do with the type of room you have, the staff you have to deal with etc etc....and of course having someone to sneak in McDonalds for you is always good too LOL

After i read your topic i realize how luck I'm.I went to the hospital 2 times.One 7 years from food poison only for 1 day and one time just for I gave birth to my son(a good way for go to the hospital)All these about me going to hospital.There are another 2 times i stayed at hospitals for few days when my son was smaller but nothing serious just few tests.I hope my luck stay with me long time.
