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.
