Just had two girls drop by for a visit. I was laughing so much it hurt (they were telling me about dates they'd both recently been on) jesus, there are some weird people out there.
I also brought up that test I had to take and no one believed me about the weird sensation so I had to look it up. Apparently it's normal. I'm not insane.

There's a window of actual internet connection with my bt broadband, which is nice.
I'm sure you've tried sidereel: http://www.sidereel.com. Might be a good time to check out/catch up on the wire and all that tv stuff.
This list from this website http://www.pia.org.uk/forum99849144/read.php?1,19348,19462 is actually deadly, especially 7:
"1. Do the IV pole dance (that's "IV" not "IVY"winking smiley. This is a PID version of the ancient Celtic Maypole Dance.
2. Hit the call button repeatedly to see what happens.
3. Channel surf. This may be your only chance to have the remote 100% to yourself.
4. Come up with at least one new bizarre symptom every day. This will keep your doctors amused and make them earn their pay.
5. Hit the up and down buttons on the bed and see how many strange contortions you can turn the bed into.
6. Decorate the IV pole with socks, hospital gowns, stuffed animals, cards and anything else within your reach.
7. Give the phlebotomist a friendly pat on the back when she comes in at the ungodly hour of 6 AM to draw blood and afix a sticker to the back of her scrubs with the title "Dracula" written in red.
8. Order pizza for delivery (I actually did this one! Domino's Pizza delivers to Centennial Hospital directly to your room).
9. Threaten to throw up as you are pushed into a closed MRI tube.
10. Have your friend smuggle your pet into the hospital in the suitcase of clothes they bring to you.
11. Come up with silly, inane lists like this when you are bored silly but not strong enough to get out of bed.
12. Add your favorite thing to do in the hospital here _____________________."
Leslie Winer is a pretty cool auld wan.. http://www.youtube.com/user/madamelevy. Her song 'He Was' is just gorgeous (might need a bit more bass than you usually get on the laptop):
Few inneresting radio stations on http://www.npr.org/music/
Clarke Ashton Smith short stories: http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/short-stories/ (I don't know if these are actually good, but I've read good things about his stuff).
Is the food good? Get well soon. Or in modern day speak: gws.

Make sure you rep that Buffalo guy before you croak, Hives.
Old episode of This American Life at the weekend - Plan B
The John Hodgman piece in Cuervo Man is a classic though.

No, in fact I've been dubbed 'difficult'. Looks like I'll be here a few more days. Last night I finally got a nurse to let someone take me out in a wheel chair. It was so nice. But this morning (I wasn't sleeping) and I heard them changing shifts and discussing me. "She'll try to get you to let her get up and go get fresh air.... don't let her. Last night she went out in a wheel chair when she shouldn't have."
I'm a hostage.
Ah, that's awful kid. I've been there before. It inspired me to write a poem about crawling out of the hospital on my stomach. As if it's not bad enough that you're not well they feed you crap, wake you at all hours, and talk about you as if you're not there. And if you ask them why you can't do something they're not able to answer.
Institutions!
Hope you're set free soon.

To while away the hours you should get a pair of binoculars and "observe" the people in the other buildings

In fairness, I understand why they don't want me walking. It does take a lot of me. I get dizzy sometimes. I cough more when I exert myself. However, a wheel chair is no different than my bed.

You should be tied to the bed so. Bloody trouble making foreigner.

Can we have a thread where we pretend Jill Hives's hospital stay is actually an episode of House?
Like who else is in there, and who has the weirdest incomprehensible ailment?
And who would play Dr House? Are any of yiz Thumped males hot enough to be Hugh Laurie? Do we need to recruit one externally?
Jill, we won't do this without your blessing.

All I know about house is that someone has to suggest that she has lupus.
