Hi Frank, don't worry about laughing it humored me also that's why
I posted it. AT the time it was just a matter of getting a cigarette but
after I saw the reaction of my doctor and everyone else I could aw a
mental picture of what I looked like and just cracked myself up. I have
a very warped and well image ladden sense of humor. Yes, I am very glad
that the newer techniques have come in. That was a test that I would not
wish on my worst enemy. After I had my cigarette and about a half hour
after the noncompleted test I went into complete cardiac arrest and
flatlined for a while. That was scarry, I woke up in the ICU unit having
no idea of what had even happend. The thing that drove me crazy about
that is that the idiots tell you that you had flatlined and that they
have a monitors on you to watch out case it happens again. So you can
now just lay there in bed and listen to the stupid monitor beep waiting
to pick up any missed or irregular beeps. Nothing like setting you up to
work yourself into a coronar
Cigarrettes work like a pacifier and a painkiller for me. I don't
do it as heavy as 3packs aday, but I guess some would consider just
under a pack a day heavy. When I feel so rotten that I just don't know
what to do, a cigarrette tastes good, and gives me something else to
concentrate on. I have to really concentrate to hold a cigarrette so
that I don't drop it and that keeps my mind temp occupied. Well I'm
pushing line time so I'll say till later....

Hi Nadine, well, when I was at Highland View Rehab center (for 1
year) things got really boring. Several of us would get together at
night for mischief, at Christmas time we went down to the main lobby and
one of the guys with a power chair pulled a gurney along behind him.
About six of us wrapped the centers Christmas tree in a couple of sheets
and then put it on the gurney. We got the tree up to our floor and
installed it in a bed and placed a sign on the bed that said do not
disturb the amputee. The staff did not overly appreciate our sense of
humor and the fact that it took them 3 days to find the tree. We were
all bed confined for a week as punishment.
