So when you watch as much TV as I watch, blogs like this happen.  This commercial makes me laugh every time I see it.  And trust me, I have seen it at least 50 times.  The best part is at the very end.  Hammer-time!



Other than humoring myself (and Chris) with silly commercials, I also caught something on TV about jails.  Here is what I learned.  Again, humor me for a second:

• People in jail get to shower every other day.  I get to shower twice a week.
• People in jail do not have to be handcuffed.  I have to be tethered to an IV pump all the time.
• People in jail have social time several times a day.  I have social time only when people visit.
• People in jail have access to a library, exercise and educational classes.  I have access to  a TV.
• People in jail only get stuck with a needle is they are sick or crazy.  I get stuck with a needle at least twice a week (although maybe that is because I am going crazy!)

Granted there are a lot of other differences that are in my favor (like I get to see my children!), but this is my feeble attempt at bed rest humor.  I am sure you are all worried about my mental health at this point

Actually today was a pretty good day.  Chris was able to work from the hospital and it is always nice to have a chance to catch up on everything and spend some time together.  There was a little strawberry festival going on here today so we gorged ourselves on strawberries and ice cream.  I also was able to have another massage this afternoon.  Ahh!  Then to top it off, the food service manager came to apologize for some recent issues and treated me to a mocha frappachino.  Now that's an apology!  So, although I probably gained 5 pounds today with my delicious treats, but I can't say that I feel too bad about it.
