Oregon's Infirmary Offers Fun and Feast;
Specializes in Back Rub, Dinner in Bed
By Marge Elliott
“Let it rain!” Basically our rare
attitude springs from the fact that
we are now inside of the cozy in
firmary walls. We could be sar
castic about the weather, but we
look forward to a long enchanting
rest, and the end of our chronic
common cold.
When we arrive we smile at the
other patients and tell them that
we’re leaving in two days,
(Achoo!) and really are going to
get some studying done!
Dinner is served to us in bed,
and as we smack our dry lips after
the (hack, hack) last tasty morsel,
we thing of the poor kiddies who
are struggling against the raging
elements outside.
Then a back rub! As the nurse
prepares to rub our back, she re
marks, “My you see more ‘differ
ent’ backs in this work!” We
cringe, but let her rub our back
anyway.
At 8:30 p.m. we are served re
freshments; then we pick up our
,-ibook and start to study. . . .only
to be informed that lights go out at
9. After several healthy coughs,
and several healthier portions of
cough syrup, we enjoy a succes
sion of nightmares.
Suddenly we gag! We force open
our eyes and discover a thermo
meter has been placed in our
mouth. When the nurse removes
this annoying object, we are in
formed that it is 5:50 a.m. We
stagger out of bed, clutch a small
bottle in our hot little hands, and
go into the (excuse our lack of
delicacy) other room.
Finally, we crawl back into bed
and slumber on. . . .until a sudden
elevating feeling forces us to once
more awake. Well! One of those
gay dogs who serves meals has
rolled up our bed, and shoved a
tray in front of our slightly worn
nose. He says, “See it? That’s
breakfast. Boy! You look like I feel
this morning!”
We can’t think of a snide reply
so we eat. As it is now 7 a.m., the
items on the menu will always re
main a mystery.
So we go back to sleep. Until the
nurse shouts, “Time for pills!”
right in our little pink ears. Two
gulps later we are in nightmare
land again. We could sleep until
noon, but at 9 another nures in
sists that she is going to givfe us
a sponge bath. We object. As she
is scrubbing our back, about which
we are now very self-conscious,
we wonder if she’d be (hack, hack)
kind enough to leave at least a
sample of the skin?
After all of these arousings, we
are too tired to study, so we just
watch the clock waiting for lunch.
The nurse comes in and says “Time
for pills.” We begin to wish that
she’d be more original and say,
“Wanna slop up a couple of these
nasty little things?” We have now
thought of a nasty crack for the
house boy, but when the delicious
repast arrives, we realize that we
dare not deliver it, as we aren’t
exactly sure which one it was.
TAfter lunch, we again delve into
our favorite volume. . .and would
study, except that the nurse pulls
the blinds, and insists that it is
time for pills, and then a nap.
When visiting hours arrive at 2
we wish frantically that our hair
wasn’t so mangy, and that our
nose was a lighter shade of red.
We feed our visitors excuses for
our appearance until 4, which
Two things to remember if this
happens to you.
1. Try to make closing hours

sniff, sniff!) ends visiting hours.
This has rounded up one complete
day, and still we haven't studied!
Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
Friday, which is what we fond
ly termed “two days later,” comes
before we are ready for it.
mainly since we have not yet stud
ied. On this stormy morning we
are informed that we will enjoy
another day of infirmary fun. We
don’t even try to smile anymore.
One morning we get violent, and
insist that we be released! We
have studying to do! The doctor
pats our pointed head, and we
walk out the door into the rain.
Everywhere we go there is rain, a
cold, cold wind, and more rain.
We hope sincerely there is still
a bed in the jnfirmary reserved
for us, because 96 hours and two
cold feet later, we think we have
the symptoms of pneumonia!
