TRIALS OF ST TIMMY'S 3 ================================================================= THE TRIALS AT ST TIMMY'S -- The Continued Saga of Paul Ess's Rehabilitation ================================================================= This is the third installment of the crap from St Timmy's. Wouldn't you know the Dulcolax I took yesterday morning would begin working after dinner...? I think it liquified everything including my spleen because it all began pouring out of me about eight o'clock and didn't let up until four in the morning. Even when it was time to get up I had a bit more debri in my nooks and crannies. This batch was similar in fragrance to the stuff Lillian at The ERR used to pour out of her colostomy bag after she detached it from her brand-new pink starfish on the side. Therefore I perceive myself to be quite empty now, colonically speaking. But all is now taken care of and I am sitting here quite happy and sassy in my tardpanties[tm] and black sweats typing this crap for your amusement. So far I have managed to prevent soiling my outer clothes with LiquiShit. A few minutes after getting hoisted into my wheelchair I began to smell pee. I think I dribbled a little on my polyurethane seat cushion. I wonder if they can spray PeeBegone[tm] on it or something. On the other hand, maybe some of that bottled stuff with the wick they uncork in rooms where they find a dead body might be in order. This morning I had my first breakfast meal here. How does bacon and eggs sound? Yummy? I thought this would be nice, too. But I like things of this sort to be somewhat above room temp. The toast, furiously-fried egg and bacon strip were dead cold. I redeemed the (not again!?) brown bread toast with my private stock of jam. The oatmeal was thick and even warm. I know this is skimmed milk we get. It may also be ... out of a box! At least I didn't have to mix the solids with the water in the orange juice like I did at The ERR. In the midst of cleaning me up from my tardly LiquiShits[tm] nursey from yesterday morning managed to leave a dirty wet sheet slung over my printer and ceedee collection and a wet towel on top of my teevee. Nursey in the afternoon was checking things over (she really watches out for me, bless _her_ spleen) and discovered my bedpan to be missing. She found it sitting atop the paper towel dispenser in the Hooper Room. It still had shit in it. I'm glad I didn't have morning nursey again _this_ morning because afternoon nursey turned her in at the desk for _that_ little stunt. Ah, yes, the Hooper Room ... doesn't this sound like a meeting room at the local Sheraton? It's not. Permit me to tell you what it is, and you're gonna love it. A hooper is a combination janitor's closet sink affair with a flushing bottom much as a toilet bowl has. This special sink is plumbed for both hot and cold water into a short hose with a mini fire nozzle. This is the device and place for cleaning bedpans! They blast the grogancrust[tm] off the groganplatter[tm] with the jet of water and flush the mess out of the sink as though it were a toilet bowl. Cute, huh? When I get the LiquiShits[tm] they could just airline-lift my tired ass over the hooper and hose me off, saving a lot of linens and time. Come to think of it, they could hose me _in_ as well. City water pressure might be quite a thrill. At The ERR they went through several dozen disposable groganwrappers[tm] per station per shift. Here at St Timmy's they are into recycling. Except when you are at maximum flow with the shitolas, they use cloth pads and swaddling. When they pull these pads and binders out from under you or off your sagging ass, they take them to the Hooper Closet and blast the scuzz off before depositing them in huge rolling garbage cans which go to the laundry. At The ERR I figured out two of the nurses had to be closet shit freaks because they _enjoyed_ the culture. One in particular would just light up as soon as she was told some tard like me needed to be changed or have the bedpan. Give me enough time and enough under-the-covers, ah, activity, and I'll figure out who's who here, too! Well, I'm off for midmorning Coffee Social in the dining room. Rush Limbaugh is on the teevee in there. I bet the old dears will be waving their canes and cheering his points. Wait a minute! -- they'd better not because he and his bunch are the ones who want to cut our dole (small 'd') and probably euthanize us all. George was very concerned about me in his childlike way last night as I lay a-groaning and a-groganing. Nevermind the stench woke him up. I shall go sit with him and the Spastic Lady and be nice for a change. =================================================================
