| ANTS! |

As you may know if you've read my last couple of LJ entries, I'm in the hospital to treat my CF. It has been a singularly frustrating experience thus far, but it could admittedly be quite a bit worse. Tonight I encountered something rather unexpected and less frustrating so much as just worrisome and gross.
I discovered about an hour ago that there was a colony of ants in my room, feasting upon a piece of food I dropped on the floor at some point. It was right next to my bed, too. The trail of ants led from the piece of food to, horrifyingly enough, the bio-hazard waste bin. D-: I just thank god I noticed it before I accidentally stepped in it bare-foot or something. I think I would have been traumatized by such an event.
I let my nurse know right away and we decided to move me. Luckily enough the room next door had just been vacated and sterilized, so now I'm in a slightly larger room with clean sheets and no ants. A cleaning crew is currently bleaching the hell out of the old room. I'm now situated in room 4, directly next door to my old room.
Room 4 is a mirror image of room 2, so now my right arm (the one with the picc line) is the one nearest the door when I'm in bed. This means that IVs and blood draws and all that good stuff are actually going to be a lot easier. Hooray! I also got a voucher for $5 to be used anywhere in the hospital for my trouble, so that's nice. |
