Boogers on the ceiling and screaming naked guy


Who knew going to the hospital could be such fun???? Hayley was moved to a new room which is evidently right down the hall from the psych ward. Shortly after I arrived this afternoon we started hearing a ruckus a few rooms down. Either some guy needed to poop out a football, or he was in pain....or both (we're not entirely sure if there was one guy or two...this was before we started really paying attention). Anyways this guy was hollering and screaming for 911 (just like Jeff Conaway on "Celebrity Rehab"), for his doctor, for his lawyer, for the police, maybe for a toilet (again, not sure if this was the same guy). He was in pain and letting everyone know it. I really wanted to go down there and bitch slap him, letting him know that my best friend had just been not only gutted like a mackeral but taken in for not one but two surgeries on the same damn day and he should just SHUT the hell UP....but I didn't. Apparently I didn't have to as he was visited by the po-po shortly thereafter (not to be confused with poo-poo) and that calmed him right down. At least for a little while. I'm sorry to say we missed the best part of the show. While Hayley was getting checked out by her nurse, we had the door closed so as to protect what little privacy she has. All of a sudden we heard the guy yelling in the hallway "I'm in paaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn" and the slap slap slap of running feet. We asked the nurse if it was the same guy. She apologized and said yes, and that it wasn't something we really wanted to see because he was nekkid as a jaybird. Hayley and I agreed that it was, in fact, something we wanted to see, so we made sure to keep that door wide open for the duration. Unfortunately he settled down again and they kept him in his room with the door closed so I couldn't even check it out. Oh well, maybe he'll be there tomorrow.


Here is a picture of Hayley's ceiling (above her bed). We are convinced that this is a booger that was flicked on the ceiling by a previous occupant (remember, psych ward). What do YOU think?
