Yossarian had everything he wanted in the hospital. The food wasn't too bad, and his meals were
brought to him in bed. There were extra rations of fresh meat, and during the hot part of the
afternoon he and the others were served chilled fruit juice or chilled chocolate milk. Apart from the
doctors and the nurses, no one ever disturbed him. For a little while in the morning he had to censor
letters, but he was free after that to spend the rest of each day lying around idly with a clear
conscience. He was comfortable in the hospital, and it was easy to stay on because he always ran a
temperature of 101. He was even more comfortable than Dunbar, who had to keep falling down on
his face in order to get his meals brought to him in bed.
Kinda related, I had surgery a few years back and it required a 3 day hospital stay. It was a glorious, relaxing vacation. No one asked me to do anything, people took care of me, fed me, etc. Recovery pain was worth it. I still remember it fondly.
Comparing it to my regular life is depressing, lol.
This is exactly why I run around with an egg in my pocket and say weird things, you are not seen as normal with an egg in your pocket and say weird things... palimpsest
Take this advice with a grain of salt, the doc might not let you out after just a few days, and that weekend might be a good bit of a year if they feel the need to tune in psychofarmaka before release
