i'll leave part 2 for daphne since i think her p.o.v. might be more vivid.
for a day at the e.r., today was not a bad one since:
a.) i had no work.
b.) an un-busy ER at 7:30am.
anyway, so first-time driving a prius with a sick roommate to a (somewhat) unknown destination is kind of scary. i definitely had visions of crashing into a pedestrian and cars on the way to the hospital.
i now have a newfound appreciation for nurses. competent nurses that is. nurses who don't wear gloves while changing your I.V. tube kind of weird me out. also, central a.c. is overrated. huddling under a blanket towel in a frigid a.c. room when it is 90 degrees F outside does not make sense.
at the end of it all, it's humbling to realize just how important health is. a few % loss of % body water, even if it's just NaCl and H2O, is absolutely debilitating.
other lessons learned:
a) drink your water/gatorade!
b) live with unemployed roommates (or ones who work from home)
c) dehydration stinks, drink your water/gatorade!
