Page 2 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Wednesday, May 31,198! Anne got no rest at hospital I have been in many hospitals in my time. As soon as you arrive home, friends begin to phone or call on you. When they ring off or are leaving, their parting words are "Well, you had a good rest, as you work so hard." One day after a friend left for home I just sat down to think. Did I have a rest or not?» At 6 a.m. nurses with the medicine cart wake you up to give you your medicine. After they leave to rouse some other patient you roll over thinking another snooze would be great. Then it dons on you that breakfast trays are delivered early. So up you get to wash your face and hands, and comb your hair. When you're snuggled in bed again you hear your name called, and there stands one of the kitchen staff with your breakfast tray. If a warm egg is on the tray I just might eat it first, and then the hot cereal, juice and milk. Under the blanket again when in march- es the day staff with clean linens and to assist with your bath. Everything is in order before the doctor makes his rounds. Now what is next?

Sometimes you are hardly able to stand in front of the screen on the wall. Your arms are akimbo at your back, your shoul- ders all humped up like the Quarry Island, and your chin is placed up on a ridge of the screen. © "Stand Still and Don't Breathe" That is some job when not feeling well. The technician goes off to develop the picture while I sit and secretly feel my throat. I'm positive that my neck is two inches longer. I watch the technician pulling the heavy machine along the ceiling, and hope it doesn't fall off its little rails and crush the both of us. Back to my room and guess what? There waits the pill cart to dish me out some more medicine. One day a little pre-school child slipped away from his mother and decided to go explor- ing. He came to call on me and asked a million questions, peak- ing here and there. I tried to keep a watchful eye on him for fear he would help himself to something. I finally told him that his Mommy _ would be worried about him. Off -he went to the door, gave me a smile and a wave, did a few Judo tricks and went slithering down the freshly washed corridor. His mother finally caught up with him. After the doctor's visit was over along came the lunch trays. At lunch and supper time the chef always gave us such luscious desserts and a nice, hot bowl of homemade soup. And of course along came more pills. After lunch its clean your teeth, powder your nose, and comb your hair, then cuddle down for a wee sleep before visi- tors arrive. After a short visit off they go to cheer someone else up for a while. May be a phone call would be for me, then a bit of rest until the supper tray arrives and more pills. I often wondered about the many colored pills that were galloping around in my stomach, and which one was the winner, I started to compare railroad- ers and doctors. They both are on call but there the similarity stops. The railroaders ring their train, book in at the office, glance at the time sheet and can figure out fi ly well as to how many ho he'll be home before being rez to book and take his train « again. But the doctor is on call ¢ never knows when he'll have answer the phone and roll out get to an emergency. Perhz . Mrs. Green has fallen in driveway and broken a leg, or !
