Quarantined!

Recently, the
author and fellow staff assistants Mike P. and Matt W. were victims of
illness. After a quick trip to the doctors and a not so good prognosis, we
were sent to isolation.
A shot of the
lovely isolation hallway where Matt spent a good 48 hours, and myself and
Mike spent 24 hours.
Time seemed to
slow down almost to a stand-still. Matt passed the time wallowing in
self-pity.
Living in
quarantine, our meals were delivered to us. Eating Blair take-out really is
not as exciting as it sounds.
Probably the
highlight of isolation was the visitors! Of course all visitors had to stay
behind the doorway. It felt a little bit like a prison visit.
Some of us
enjoyed the health center reading material. I don't think he is ready just
yet...
There was some light video
entertainment.
Matt played some catch. With
himself of course.
Hygiene is very
important in the health center. There was plenty of time to get that 'lectric
shave.
Lots of teeth brushing went on,
too.
Of course, one of
the most important thing to do when sick is to sleep a lot!
Watch out for those nightmares
though! (Sorry Dave!)
At the end of the stay in
isolation, all three Staff Assistants were cleared 100% healthy and ready to
go back to work! Special thanks to nurses Tina and Alan for taking great
care of us during our stay!
