Update on Mom

Speaking of insomnia, why don't hospitals let patients sleep? My mom's chemo keeps her in for 5 days at a time, and she gets maybe 4 hours of unbroken sleep a night. Sleep is so important for keeping a body healthy and strong -- why is that? She was told "Hospitals are for treating the sick not for getting sleep."

Other than being exhausted, she is in good spirits.

yea i know what you mean. when i was in with my first attack i wanted to kill the staff. i threatened the doctor and only reason some nurses came in to see me was because my brother in law just stopped working at that hospital and was liked.

i told my doctor i was going to knock him out. he didnt believe me till i started getting up from the table
