Yesterday I went with my sister to the hospital as she was having surgery done. They said it would only take about 20 minutes for the surgery but it could take up to 5 hours for her to recover from the drugs.

That was fine, according to the nurse they would come out and let me know when she was out of surgery. 2 hours later I was told she was awake not that she was out of surgery, but that she was awake. Now for a normal person thats not a big deal, for a diabetic who needed to eat an hour before the came out it was a big deal. I was not happy at this point. So I followed the nurse in thinking that my sister would be okay to leave. She wasn’t she will still very out of it. So I sat for another 20 minutes until I started shaking at that point I went down to the cafeteria and ate. Yes I know I’m an adult and should have before, but if something had gone wrong I was the only person there.

Of course this is not the worst part. Her nurse had gone down to have lunch just a few minutes before I left. When I walked by she gave me a funny look, later I overheard her say how horrible it was that I thought food was more important then my sister. Now I understand she didn’t know my situation, but it was still uncalled for since she didn’t know. You would think that a nurse in a hospital would know better wouldn’t you?
