The Funny Side of Strokes - My Hospital Embarrassment
An event I have to tell you about was a rather embarrassing occasion for me,
But they say laughter is one of life’s best medicines, so I’ll share it with you happily.
One morning I was getting dressed and got down on my knees to look in my bedside locker,
Realised I was stuck and couldn’t get up; the nurses would think I was off my rocker.
I had no choice I had to get help, so rang my buzzer for someone to come and assist,
A nurse popped her head round the curtain, she needed extra help, though I tried hard to resist.
You may wonder why I was reluctant for there to be so much fuss and unnecessary concern,
The embarrassing truth is my bottom half was totally naked and my cheeks started to burn.
Later during the medicine round, the Sister asked me about the fright that I’d given the staff,
“Are you sure that you didn’t fall?” she said, I shook my head and I started to laugh.
I told her, “I was on my knees and looked like I was praying, when I was descended upon,”
She laughed & replied, “Well in future if you feel like being religious, make sure you have some knickers on.”
