Sleep deprivation continues

17 November 2011 (Thursday), Day 36

The hospital moved me back to my old bed and room after all patients in the two rooms were discharged and the rooms cleaned.

Two elderly ladies were admitted to the next room. The nurse sealed the toilet door in our room and we were not allowed to use the shared toilet which did not worry me at all.

My new roommate is a young mother of two. She is quite knowledgeable about the hospital system and I learned a fair bit from her how to survive better here.  

The consulting doctor came and told me they planned to discharge me next week.

I did not have a good sleep that night.  I woke up at 1am, asked for some painkiller hoping to go back to sleep but failed.  From 3am onwards, the old lady kept screaming “nurse” till 5am. No hope of getting a decent sleep.
