Noise.
Hospitals are noisy places. Machines beep. Patients call out. TVs are on. The noisiest is the ICU. Machines are hooked to every conceivable orifice and they all beep, hiss, wheeze, or chortle.
Add to that construction. Yes, construction. The local hospital is being renovated. Add nail guns, generators, voices calling ("Bob -- you got that PVC pipe?" "NO, Carl, has it." "Hey, Carl --"), pounding, sawing....
I was SO glad to get Mom home. The only noise is the oxygen machine and the kids in the playground next door.
Ah. Peace. Quiet. Serenity....
