I am a non-hospital person as a result of an illness at a young age. My comfort level is very low.

Everyone wass professional, courteous, and made me as comfortable as is possible. I was well cared for, and I give two thumbs for the entire stay.

And the meal I ordered, from a menu for heaven's sake, was delicious!
Thanks for the report. I also hate hospitals (even doctors' offices). But sometimes they're needed. Glad to know this one was good for you. Best of health to you.

Yes, I did!

It was quite the ride. I had everyone in OR laughing the whole time. Might as well have fun, right?

I have a strong aversion to hospitals so getting me into one isn't easy. It goes back to polio at age 4. I've never gotten over things I saw and experienced then.
Oh, goodness. Polio? We need you on the thread on a cd sub forum where the anti-vaccination crowd is having a field day saying that those childhood illnesses were no big deal and that vaccines should be avoided because they are scams from big pharma.

My former husband had a surgery at Mtn. View. He was so pissed that he was on a clear liquid diet, because he was starving post operatively and got ahold of that menu. Not your average hospital food, is it?

1st: The food was as good as restaurant food.

2nd: I don't bother with arguing with anti-vaxers. They are stupid, ignorant, and uninformed. It's a waste of breath to argue since they aren't smart enough to understand what you are saying.

Lines two and three pertain to them. Line one is reserved for those who are actually intelligent.
