My wife has been on a diet that slowly removes excess weight. That's how "they" say it works best. Last week she told me she lost 31 lbs. so far. The last thing I remember was she was walking away from me and I told her I found it. I should be out of ICU and into PT by next week. Of course, they all stick together. I asked a female nurse for something for pain. She laughed & said, "Yeah, I bet you DO!" as she walked out of my room. Then I heard a whole gaggle of them out by the nurse station laughing hysterically! A doctor came in a while ago and slipped a pill in my hand and said, "If you mention this to ANYBODY I'm coming in and going to unplug some of these tubes!"
