Simon, you will be fine; however I wish people would stop stereotyping nurses as sex objects. First off it's highly likely your nurse will be a male............ anyway; I'm sure everyone will behave per your request/command/order :hammer: what could possibly happen :swordfight: this family is so well behaved :hug: :bye: :clap: and then there's me :dev: but I'm always nice. :double-puke:

Well coming to the end of this post because the post will cut me off if I use anymore emoticons :offtopic:

You know Smilelyblue just got out of the hospital and before she went in I was able to warn her about their plans to put her in the psych ward and use 200 lb test sugi and bed linens to do her wound change. Well I just heard that the hospital you're going in to employs this surgeon who thinks he's a genie. He grants the patients 2 wishes before he starts the surgery and then when you wish he knew how many wishes authentic genies give you're down to 1 wish and that's when people usually wish they had never stepped foot in that hospital and "PPPPOOOMPH" you're home just like nothing had happened at all. They don't even charge you for the harem pants and turban they dressed you in prior to surgery.

You'll know you're safe when you get home and find out we all actually behaved :banplease:

Trust you to get a side room Simon, but check your bill when you leave. The drinks from that Mini Bar are damn expensive. :D

Trin wouldn't notice if we misbehaved; she's usually on her 5th glass of wine by 7pm. :drunk:

Pradeep was my consultant, certainly no complaints here!
