Yo, Paulie,
I'm so glad your dad came through ok. Some people really hate hospitals and are terrified of them. My stays have always made me feel secure and cared for-maybe I've just been lucky.
Recovery is weird--I remember some guy in the bed next to me saying "Let's hold hands," so we did, and the nurse very sternly pulling us apart and saying, "We'll not have any of that now!" What did she think we were going to do? (What did he think we were going to do? Do you think I looked easy?)
My father was in the hospital so much for several years that no one bothered trying to tell him what to do at all. He did what he wanted. Set up a little bar in his locker. A nurse tattled to the doctor, who then started coming in every night before he went home to have a drink. I'm sure my father invited the nurse, but I don't believe she ever took him up on the offer. Sometimes he made dying look like fun.
