I worked at the hospital last night ...I usually go in at 4-5pm and get off at 6:30 am or later the next day depending on the Dr...
our patient last night was a hoot.. I loved her...she was funny, kind and so appreciative of us...that is always nice.
she had a tummy tuck and boob lift..to put it in lay mans terms...
After we gave her the pain meds she was a little loopy and kept saying how are my tits do they look good!! We laughed and said yes your boobs look like your 20...she laughed and then feel asleep...
she would wake up and talk and then fall asleep in mid sentence...
This morning she said I love those cocktails you gave me <that's what she called them>
She said she dream that she was talking to us about her boobs...We laughed and she said what's funny.??.
We said you talked to us all night...She said REALLY I don't remember..
I hope I didn't say anything weird..
.I laughed and said honey don't give it another thought you were fine....we enjoyed your sense of humor. We have heard it all and we know the meds can make people funny...you were fine and talked perfectly normal..
She was the sweetest lady...I see her again on Friday when she has her face lift
we will see how that goes....
she loved all the attention we gave her since she is our only patient...so we spoil them and its nice to be appreicated.....

My sister is a nurse with a similar schedule in Jacksonville.
Your story reminded me of when I fractured my skull in 1990. I woke up in post op to find my sister and best friend standing there (at this point I was still thinking I had just had stitches, not realizing I had emergency brain surgery, seizures, and almost lost my ability to speak). I told them that I had a dream that I was wearing funny white panty hose....then I looked down, saw the TED hose and exclaimed, "I AM wearing white panty hose"

Getting an appreciative patient every now and again really makes it all worth while doesn't it?
I rode in an ambulance once, just after I was given some pretty strong painkillers. Fortunately for the guys in the ambulance it was just a short trip, from one building of the hospital to the other, because I was singing 'weeeeeeeeeeeee!' the whole way like a kid on a roller coaster. I don't know if they were laughing with me or at me, but it was fun either way.
