WL is in hospital...

WL got a bad one and the start of it seemed innocuous enough. He had an injection or two and things seemed Ok. I even urged him to go for Pink Panther 2 on Saturday morning but he was less cheerful than normal. I should've guessed then itself. WL never misses on movies.

Me and WOMS went to see him in the hospital and WOMS was his cheeky self. He left for a call a few minutes later and I had a nice chat with WL on the usual stuff. WL was in a bit of pain but cheered up when he saw us, but that was momentary. When WOMS was back we teased WL to the core. He was more than Ok in handling the slack. 

WL was feeling a little bit of pain because of the drip being a little too fast, so he called the nurse to have it reset. WOMS was paying close attention to the apparatus and when she left started fiddling with it. He made some intelligent observations about this drip thing and was eager to play with it a little. We also discussed the dreadful implications of a bubble inside the drip and we tried to put one in WL's drip. WL went ballistic when we tried to touch the drip apparatus. So we sat there with nothing to do. 

No apparatus to play with, TV wasn't showing anything good. And it was getting a little boring when WL told me that some girls called WOMS at 8 yesterday. Apparently, they called to ask the size of a stamp size photograph. WL got his way and it was WOMS turn to take it. So, we discussed the intricacies of stamp size photos and the magnetic field of WOMS, which is way too strong. And after half an hour or so, we agreed that the girls were not at fault in calling WOMS. It was all his fault and he agreed quite gracefully, not that he had a choice. 

The nurse came some time later and for no apparent reason WOMS started giggling. Now the thing with him is that he can't stop once he starts the ride. Imagine the scene, WL on the bed moaning in pain every 3 seconds precisely, and me and WOMS giggling like idiots in front of the nurse. I tried very hard to put up a serious face but WOMS was shaking like a bloody mast in the wind so I couldn't stop myself. The nurse must've felt pretty obnoxious but we didn't know for sure. We weren't looking.So, when she left we roared with laughter and WL watched us in puzzlement but later joined in.

WOMS and I were planning to stay in his room for the night. AC and TV and we could bring our laptops and play AOE the whole night and mess up WL occasionally too. That would've been fun. I told WL that we'd be back after dinner and laptops and if he can move his hand we'll have him play AOE too. But WL pour cold water over our plans and shooed us out. He said he'll sleep without us buggers messing around and will see us tomorrow, if he has to.
