i'm back from the hostpital and the check is in the mail. yes, it was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it, and that somebody was me. The $900 the job payed is mine also as a little side note, but that money is going to tuition despite how tempted i am to spend it on something else. yesterday's stay was alot easier than the first time. i found out that the first time was when i got the medication so i think that might explain why my heart was extra reactive. it was still above average today, but not nearly as emphasized. the test routine was the same. do nothing for 25 minutes and then run the pupil sizing test and the brain awareness test for five minutes and so on for 12 hours. i think part of the reason it went faster this time though was because they let me watch movies. it was information that i wasn't given the first time. it turns out that they have a whole movie archive, so i watched tarzan (the cartoon one), forrest gump, part of meet the parents, rush hour, and chicken run. i could only watch part of meet the parents because that movie is more depressing than funny. so much bad stuff happens to that poor guy, i just can't stand to watch it. anyways, the hardest part of the whole day, as i believe i said last time, is taking off the ekg pads. those things are sticky. this time i took a shower to get them off so even though it hurt, i was able to better manage the pain. now it looks like i have hickies all over my body, like i made out with a big mouth bass. i have one on each boob, one below my left boob, and two to the left and right of my bellybutton. i did manage to find a good use for the spots though. when my nurse brought me my night time snack i found that the sticky spots made for good holders, so i attached my bag of potatoe chips to my left pectoral and reached in at my leasure to get some chips. now i'm home, and i'm packing for disney world because i'm leaving at 2:00. as for the immediate present, i think i shall shower off to get rid of the hospital smell. anyways, i'll fill you in on my trip. peace and love.
