MY SPACE...THE CARE GIVERS CORNER

  Thankfully I was allowed to stay in Guy's room for the length of his stay.  My cot was
   in a corner where I felt safe.  No one could sit on me or accidentally give me a shot.  Actually once that almost happened.  Guy and I were taking a nap together in his bed when he woke up before I did. So he slipped out for a brief walk in the hall with his IV pole.  A new nurse was on the floor that day to give Guy a shot and saw my hair  sticking out from under the covers.  Voices woke me up asking, "Who is this, is this Mr Powers?  If so, where is his IV pole?"  Every patient was tethered to an IV pole.
  We'll talk about the IV poles later.
