The arrival of Sarah


Sarah is my cousin from Ohio who I have loved like a sister from the first time I saw her in the airport holding a homemade sign welcoming me to Ohio for the first time. When she heard what I was going through she volunteered to come to Texas and stay with me a while. I am so excited that she is coming and a little sad because I am in the hospital. I told Greg that when he picks Sarah up from the airport to feed her, take her home let her rest and then bring her to see me. She tells Greg that he is to take her straight to the hospital. I am talking a little but not a whole lot. I am so excited to have Sarah here she is my partner in crime. She comes to the hospital every day. Sarah did really wonderful things like bring me pintos and cheese from taco bell. She would also fix me diet coke without thickener and hide the evidence when a nurse would come in.

She would also read to me which would calm me. She would make sure the nurses were on top of their game so my ambulance ride the hyperbaric chamber went off in a timely manner. The chamber is my favorite part of the day. I am locked in a tube and no one can bother me. Another highlight of the chamber is I can watch movies.

This next part is a bit of advice for people in the same situation. Now anyone who walks into the hyperbaric room can see what movie you are watching but you are the only one who can here the movie. I put in a movie that sounded good it was called love actually. Well one of the couples in the movie is standing in for porn stars. Get this mental picture I am laying in my little tube when a nekkid man and nekkid women are making the motions of having sex. As this is playing out and I am trying to hide under my blanket the Doctor walks in showing his hyperbaric room. He is walking backwards so he doesn’t see what is playing out on the screen but everyone else can see. The Christian girl is watching simulated porn in public. The lesson here is know your movie before you put it in. From now on when in doubt watch second hand lions.

PS
naked = no clothes on
nekkid=no clothes on and is up to something
