Sounds like you have yet another reason to take better care of yourself - to stay the hell out of the local hospital.

Deep breaths must be the hospital cure-all for everything. I felt nauseous and warned the nurse. She, with great irritaion, said take deep breaths. I was just out of surgery and groggy, no glasses so I couldn't see a thing. Well, two minutes later the deep breaths stopped working and there I was needing a clean gown, clean sheets, etc. Boy were they pissed! Seems I was supposed to use a basin...I couldn't see it so I didn't know it was there. And between the pain of the incision and the grogginess, I couldn't have reached it anyway. Now that I think of it, despite their nastiness, I won that battle. hee hee.

Sounds like you did too.
