to myself....i know as you looked around the roon in recovery you were able to see the concerns on all the loved ones faces....we the patients are in a much better position to take on this view...and we are lying down with a pillow no less....almost like having room service at a fancy hotel...except i have yet to see that sexy nurse everyone seems to want to know about....come to think of it have yet to run into a sexy airline stewardess yet either.....i wonder where those myths came from...oh well thought i'd comment to myself......later...i have doozy blog planned for tonite
