I'm still here

They say when life throws lemons then you should make lemonade, and I couldn't agree more.

Here I am in hospital and I made it through 'till Monday. I really should have come in on Saturday and one of my doctors was none too pleased, I think she was just in a bad mood because me waiting 'till Monday doesn't create any more work for her, she is a great doctor though.

A friend of mine has let me use her broadband dongle while she's gone for an MRI scan and that's why I can post this blog, I think I'll invest in one of them for the next time I'm in here.

It's been a pretty uneventful few days as hospitals go but there are some really nice guys on the ward. There's a guy in the bed opposite who is deaf and dumb and has managed to keep us laughing all the time with his antics, from getting on one knee and pretend proposing to one of the nurses to pretending to be asleep when the porter comes to get him for physio, and then popping his head out from under the blankets with a huge grin on his face when the porter gives up and goes. He has an amazing ability to communicate without words or sound. He really loves life, every minute of it and shows it in every movement he makes.

The guy in the next bed to me told me he has incurable cancer and has been given 12 to 20 months to live. He has a constant smile on his face and is looking forward to filling his days as much as possible with the things that interest him. He also told me that he wants to die while attending a German s and m party, but hey I'm not here to judge, but that's what keeps him smiling. He asked the doctor last night for a prescription for Viagra as he intends on using a lot of it, fair play to him.

The world is full of all kinds of great people and each one is an integral pert of the reason this world is such a great place. My two room buddies have kept me smiling for the past few days and I hope I've done my bit to make them smile as well.

Now where's my lemonade I'm thirsty.
