I’ve come to the con­clu­sion that hos­pi­tals suck the life out of you. Early this morn­ing my wife and I trav­eled to the white-walled fortress for her gall blad­der surgery. The appoint­ment was sched­uled for 6am and after around an hour and a half of wait­ing she was trans­ported to the OR.

The oper­a­tion took about 45 min­utes and the rest of the time we spent in the com­pact room–6 hours to be exact in what seemed like sus­pended ani­ma­tion. I fig­ure hos­pi­tal time is com­pletely dif­fer­ent from the time we are famil­iar with. It’s a com­pletely dif­fer­ent beast where one hour is equal to about 6 of our hours.

If my cal­cu­la­tions are cor­rect that would equal to about 66 hours of lost time.
