It's best not to mention which hospital you're in as there will be a large, pissed-up crowd of CUKers in town later this week.
Sorry to hear you're still stuck in there.

The talking machine has been discharged now, so it's fairly quiet.

I'm in one of the best hospitals in London afaik. The actual operating theater was modern and seemingly state of the art (I've been in a few for births and this was a totally diffeerent league) and doctors and nurses have been excellent. I'd not want to forgo that just to get a private room. Gotta remember I'm seriously ill and they are trying to diagnose it, not just undergoing a routine op.

TBH, if you're in for more than a couple of days, it could get a bit lonely in a private room.

I was in hospital for 5 months once, in a 4 bed ward which was primarily young blokes (car and motorbike accidents) and so wasn't too bad except for the pain and accompanying ailments. However the worst period was when I had an old boy next to me for a few weeks who used to do the most long drawn out stinkiest tulips, with matching sound effects, and when you're in traction in bed so can't move it was quite possibly some of the most uncomfortable times I have ever had...

My Missus was on one of those kinds of wards last year when she had complications from gallstones.
It was mixed too. Not nice.
Hope you are out of there soon.

There was a guy at the end of the ward who never stopped talking, even if there was no-one to talk to, he just kept going on and on, morning noon and night.
then there was the guy in the bed next to me who used to tulip his pants at least 4 times a day. I thinnk he was embarressed about asking the nurses to help him go for a tulip so he just did it in bed and waited for them to notice and clean him up.
The guy on the other side of me used to attack the nurses at every opportunity, so therey used to be 4 or 5 of them who had to restrain him every time they took his blood pressure etc.
Whenever my older relatives were ill and were complaining that they didn't want to go to hospital, I always thought they were just a bit doddery and hospital would be the best place for them. I can see there point now.
My advice, get some ear plugs and a sleep mask and try to sleep as much as possible.
