i guess I was nervous about one thing....I had been experiencing some shortness of breath, I went to an urgent-care facility, and in addition to a Z-pack for bronchitis, I got a prescription for an Albuterol inhaler. I still need it, and I was seriously considering just hiding it in my bag of stuff...but you're right. I'll just come clean.
And I won't leave my iPad out -- thanks for the warning.
I've spent some time in hospitals this year (I had a blood transfusion two months ago), and I know nurses are usually great (and my brother is an RN). I actually got "forgotten," though when my nurse left for the day and didn't tell anyone I still needed attention! I think I ended up spending two or three hours extra, hooked up at snail speed, because nobody reset my IV after a bathroom trip.
