HER HEALTH
Trying to get well. Doing what the doctor has instructed her to do.
They poke and they prod. Test after test after test.
The Emergency Room at the hospital. A circus!
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My.
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
I FINALLY get to be the first at something good!
You’re right; a cold, sterile circus with clowns who get paid too much.
Have a great weekend!
WOOT!!! Yahtzee
They get paid way too much LOL 
Love the comparison of the hospital and the circus..:)
Glad you do my friend
The perfect comparison!! I love it! You’re so clever to be so young! Have a great evening and a terrific weekend!
Sylvia
xoxoxo
Thanks. Not so young, actually. You have a good weekend as well
A circus and then some. Working it is more like a Zoo!!!
Great 55
Moon Smiles
P.S. Hoping that doesn’t mean someone near and dear has been ill
Well I wish I could say that they weren’t ill but we have been through a little recently. She is fine now. I can imagine it’s like a zoo
Thanks 
that is one circus i wish my boys did not visit so much…lol. nice 55.
mine is up!
Thank you. I bet every parent wishes that
One circus I won’t be running away to join.
Great 55.
You and me both
LOL Thanks!
Those rooms are cold. I remember having that thin hospital garb on and all those in the operating room had sweaters!
Isn’t that the truth. And then they look at you like you are nuts LOL
Oooh it cuts like a knife!
Quirky and Off beat Thom…
I Love it!
Thanks for this Excellent 55 My Friend.
You Rock TThe Island!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End!
That it does. Very quirky and off beat to say the least. You are most welcome. I really enjoy this
health check up of circus animals
Good!
So true so true. Thank you my friend
Wow! Now I HAVE been to Hawaii!
Can I please steal your palm tree for my site. Or clone it, I mean.
Now where were we?
Oh yes, being prodded in the E.R. Hate that feeling!
xo
Sure, steal away.
Or clone it…whatever you like LOL. They just treat you like a piece of meat LOL
Emergency rooms do have that feeling. I hope to avoid them for a long time to come!
Ditto my friend. Ditto
Sylvia thinks you’re young? (Don’t mind the hysterical laughter, I’ll get over it.)
I don’t know that I’d agree that a hospital is like a circus ride, but is certainly is a trip!
And yeah, I know, bite you. Scrub first.
You can quit laughing now after you see the response I wrote LOL. I still say they are a circus. I’ve scrubbed and waiting
hi hi ,,, funny. poor nurse
LOL…yup…I agree
Great comparison. So often true.
Thanks. I think more than not it’s true
Hospitals! You would NEVER BELIEVE what I was doing in a hospital, at the age of 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was shaving the pubic hairs off the men awaiting surgery! lol! TRUE!
My hand shakes at the mere thought in this world of law suits and compensations! Mind you – nobody complained! lol!
OMG what a job. LOL I hope you were well compensated. True story My Grandfather had a hernia. He shaved himself. When the nurse came to shave him and saw he already did she picked up his penis and said beautiful. To this day we don’t know what she was talking about LOL
…Lions and Tigers and Bears…does not sound very trustworthy – glad i have no surgery coming up – would’ve to think of your poem – and your pic…..!!! nice 55 friend
LOL…Well it’s just something to think about. Glad you enjoyed
Controversy and a moving cartoon. Bliss.To hear or read my non-PC illustrated Friday 55 click here. Warning you may have to read the footnote after to make sense of it!
Indeed. I’ll be over shortly
Ha ha, great read and the comments were funny too!
Mine is here
Thank you my friend. Yeah the comments make the post if you ask me
Why do they keep those hospital rooms so cold? The best thing about a hospital bed is the cotton blanket fresh from the warmer. Lions, Tigers and Bears…indeed!
You got me. And you are so right about the blankets. Have a good one
It is amazing that anyone gets well in a hospital.
Very well done.
Isn’t that the truth
circus !! lolz !!! this was fun
Thanks. I’m so glad you enjoyed
The hospital is NOT the place for rest…I know. I work in one. Very good observation Thom!
Thank you my friend. Yeah it’s no rest for the wicked
We share that same opinion of hospitals. Great 55. Love the graphic.
Love the site design, headed for a few weeks in Hawaii myself this January, personal writing retreat.
Glad you enjoyed. And I’m glad you like my theme etc. Ooo how fun. I hope you enjoy your time here
Loved the image you chose to go with those fabulous 55! w00t w00t!
LOL..it took me some time to find that. Glad you like
That business about refrigerating hospitals really gets to me. Exactly why does it have to be so cold?! Even when it’s hot out, the hospital will be cool enough that the nurses wear sweaters.
Isn’t that the truth. And then in the winter they are in parka’s LOL
what a perfect 55,
I enjoy your imaginations here.
Cheers!
Thank you very much
hospitals make me queasy
well done, though
Thank you very much.
They do the same for me. 
sounds serious. hope all turns out ok.
She is fine thanks. Doing very well. Appreciate the concern
There’s really no place like home to get better. Hospitals suck. Have a great weekend.
Mine’s here.
Isn’t that the truth
Have a great weekend as well 
I must say, most ERs are a bit like a circus. I wonder if she’ll recover. Great job!
She has gotten much better at home thanks. Thank you
Sometimes I really wonder if hospitals are the right place to recover at all! Okay, it’s a place for surgeries and pills and potions.. but recovery is best at home I suppose… well, that’s just my thought..
I hope she is getting better now though…
A nice analogy there – hospital and circus! Perfect!
I tend to agree with you. Especially the potion part. LOL
Very well said!
Nicely done my friend!
Thanks!!! Much appreciated
