the few patients on the floors screaming for nurses, crying, whatever, I felt bad for them. but sleep was impossible. I guess 5 days of sleep deprivation will really see if my eyes are myasthenic or not.
Can you close your door overnight? That's what I did when I was in the hospital last month for 11 days. I also took some ear plugs with me (the kind you squeeze and when you put them in your ears they expand). This helped greatly in blocking out some, not all, of the noise. I got them at Wal-Mart.

Now that you're finally there, you can count down the days til you get to go home.
