Before Admission to the Hospital

Before I was admitted to the hospital I imagined living in a hospital bed for weeks on a medical floor. I remember asking my mom if I was going to be able to take a shower. Packing was difficult because I did not know what to bring. I had never seen the place I was going to live. The hospital was much better than I expected. Although, I worked hard and was excited to return home. I wish I had a website that I could have gone to before I was admitted to the hospital.
