The Funnies from Inside the Hospital

Ok, promised I'd write just on the funny things I'd done. Just now, I thought I'd make 2 blogs, 1 from inside the hospital and 1 while at home. Both are just hilarious! If you don't find it funny, then you have no sense of humor!

#1

A few weeks into staying at the rehab hopsital, I still want allowed to eat. My mom was there, and I was just sitting in my wheelchair, having conversations over I don't really know what. My eyes were eyeing something else at the moment.

For whatever reason, I started to head to the bathroom, passing where my "room mate" slept. Quickly (or so I thought) I snagged her bag of potato chips she'd left on her eating tray. I quickly stuffed the chips down beside me, between me and the wheelchair. Then, I headed to the bathroom to, well, I don't know my next move. HA HA! But, my mom had caught me grabbing the chips!

"Elicia! Put those back! You know you can't eat those!" she yelled at me...

"Well she's not going to!" I yelled back...I put them back on her tray.

Mom went with me on a usual day to all my therapies. By then, I'd gotten good at "driving" myself around with my feet on the wheelhair. So, I'd keep the leg rests to the sides. When we went to speech therapy, mom sat down. When I came to the same table, I smacked mom's leg with the leg rest.
"Due to my brain injury, I cannot be held responsible for anything I say or do, including that" I said, and then started laughing! She gave an odd look and smiled.

Another time in speech therapy, Laurie Ann and I were talking about some of my tattoos. Mom was there. She's my witness! HAHA I told Laurie Ann when I got home, I was getting "sleeves" tattooed on my arms.

Ok, maybe there's not too many when I was in the hospital. But, the few are funny! I don't care who ya are, that there is funny!
