Index Number: 11997 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....

Index Number: 12183 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.
