The Hospital
The entire last week my mom was in the hospital so I was in the room with her for most of the time (which is a LOT of time). So obviously I needed to entertain my mom and most importantly, MYSELF. Here are some of the things I did:
1) for my moms operation they have to cut open her knee and replace some parts. So every morning when the doctor came to change the dressing (the bandage) over the scar I would tell her that when he opened it, all the blood will come out like a fountain. So whenever the doctor came in I would start covering her face with newspaper and tell her I don't want the blood to fall on your face.
2) Someone gave my mom a helium get well soon balloon. So removed the weight that held it to the ground and tied it with tissue paper so that it'll just hover in mid air. After 2 hours I got it to float in mid air. However, the next morning the nurse confiscated it because it ended up in someone else's room.
3) I tried to do handstands against the wall. But I think my belly didn't like the idea and wanted to punish me by bringing the centre of gravity onto the ground.
4) I was told by my friend that if I'm not nice to the nurses they won't be nice to my mom. So I was super nice to everyone of them, saying "please", "thank you" and complimenting their work at every single opportunity I got.
5) My moms urnie was extracted from a tube for the first few days so I used to count the levels and tell her whether she's drinking enough water or not. The most amount of urine produced in one 6 hour period was 1,200 ml.
