Taking My Meds

I was sitting on the toilet trying to pee yesterday when a nurse brought my medicine.  Did she wait, or, heaven forbid, come back?  Oh, no-- she brought the pills into the bathroom and gave them to me while I sat on the pot.  I've also had them bring medicine before I was even out of bed.  They've also brought their blood pressure measuring apparatus into my room in the middle of the night.

I understand they have schedules to keep here.  I also understand nurses have seen it all.  However, there are also such values as human digmity and respect.  Usually, I get that here-- I definitely get that from those who know me-- but every once in a while, it breaks down a bit.
