day one in hospital

So the next day I take the bus to the hospital to the city. My wife was not too confident of driving so the bus was the way to go.

I get there, I register, then wait for a bed...5 hours. The nurse say you can go and come back around 2-3pm. Ok so I go to the city looking for food, halal food. Once I get there after walking so long, the hospital calls saying a doctor wanted to see me. Unbelievable, this always happens when I leave the hospital.

So I buy something from a halal cafe and go back.

The nurse pages the doc. The docs comes and in passing said that she was from Malaysia. How about that, we export something, but they never return.

I see a neuro assistant and radio oncology assistant. They do some simple tests and that was it.

Later my bed was ready. I go. It was a single room. Cool a room of my own (just lucky). I was expecting the 'prison garb' but this did not happen. I was also expecting the piping but this also did not happen. Cool and relieved.

We were chilling out when a women entered asking what I would like to eat. We have...then the halal word popped out. She says yeah we can get you that for tomorrow. There's none tonight. So I ask for vegetarian.
