Thanks for the lovely welcome, everyone.
It's great that you can all find humor in your hospital experiences! Don't worry, we nurses know any brain condition "brings out the devil" in every person. Other than the constant pain, occasional nausea, and being confined in bed for days and days, people are, at best, irritable. At worst, some brains momentarily lose some functions, including inhibition, temperance, tact and reason. So we're used to patients pulling their lines out, jumping out of bed and yelling obscenities. And of course, almost everyone who's returned to thank us after discharge are actually really kind, thoughtful people.
