The ONLY time I have been in hospital in 48 years of existence was for an appendectomy - I was 18. I tell you, if it weren't for the hospital staff being happy and a little rambunctious, I would have gone insane - surrounded by elderly gents moaning and groaning all night. I used to pull myself out of bed and go talk to many of them, especially the cute ones. Sleeping with your gut feeling like it was going to fall out wasn't easy anyway
