Hospital Fashion Show

Today when we went to visit Colleen she showed us the funniest card, then told the funniest story, I'll share. The card had a cartoon picture of three people with hospital gowns opened in the back with bottoms hanging out. The front of the card said,
"Hospital Fashion Shows"
Next Thelma strolls the surgery floor with confidence in this 'sassy' bile green evening gown.
(inside it said) Hope to see your sassy butt out of bed real soon.
It was from some some para-legal friends.
Her story - Earlier today an angel at the hospital washed her hair for her and gave her a brand new straight out of the package hospital gown. She helped her into it and got it all snapped up on the shoulders. Colleen was feeling pretty good and was walking all around her room with the door open, just in case visitors came to call. Pretty soon the nurse came in and asked, "Did you get your gown tied up in back?" "Why no I didn't!" said Colleen blushing on all four of her cheeks. They got her tied up and later that day as Colleen was out cruising the halls the nurse smiled at her and Colleen said, "Thanks, if it weren't for you, the other patients would be laughing at me.
Needless to say, Colleen is getting her sense of humor back. She had quite a few visitors this evening, the nurse had to bring in an extra chair, then she closed the door because we were laughing too loud.
Dr. McDreamie came in, checked her incision and said it is healing nicely. They took her off the morphine (good bye carpet rolls) and oxygen. She is on Oxycontin. She looks, feels and sounds better every day. She was able to eat an egg salad sandwich for lunch and meat loaf for dinner. Life is good. *G* She has gotten some beautiful flowers from friends and family, including a wintry sleigh arrangement from Miss Lovely and John. Flowers from Ebeneezer Scrooge (her boss) and a Garfield cookie arrangement from her private dick friends that she did skip traces for. She loved reading the posts that I took her and is giving grave consideration to all of the names offered.
She asked me to thank everyone for their good thoughts and prayers.
