If you had to stay at hospital either as a patient or just a company, You can have fun too! This is my standard for fun-full hospital staying
Let's start with the most important, the patient.
1- have things that you likes at your home. It's ok if you want to bring your own pillow, but ask the hospital management because some hospital policy does not allow such a thing..
2- take your best book with you. Even if you are not a fan of reading, just take it. It could help you!!
3- it's ok to ask people you likes to come by. May be they have something else blocked them. If they knew that you need them they'll come ;)
4- Have a tour in the hospital. If you were-God forbidden- a patient still can move your legs and the doctor allow mobility, why you stay in the bed all the time. It'll make you sicker :s
5-You don't have to deal with people you doesn't like in such a situation. Tell them you are tired and they will leave. Even though don't forget they come to see you so, may be they love you. Give them another chance.
6- DO NOT forget that you have mercy ALLAH (God). Ask Allah for anything. Talk with him in the pray and listen to him by reading the Quran.
7-deal with your pain. Believe that you are in pain therefore you'll try to deal with it. If you still denial it more n more you won't be able to find the right why to live with it.
8-it's ok to feel down sometimes. But don't let that feeling takes you far away. You are a human being. You have so many different feelings. You must try each single one to know the difference between them. Therefore you can enjoy other good feelings.
Finally I hope you healthful life :)
Know, let's talk about the assistant:
1-you doing a great job and to feel good, do what you suppose to do. Do what you leave your space for. Don't sit helpless there. Give the patient every assistant he/she needs. That’s why you are here. Aren't you?!
2-if you don't like hospital don't stay there. Leave the chance for another person, who will be more helpful than you. It's better for you and absolutely better for him/her.
3-have your favorite things too. It's harder to stuck there without anything to do. (when the patient fall asleep or so)
4- have your own time. Believe me it'll give you Patience for keep going. You can ask some one for stay for awhile.
5- pray for the patient. isn't that the reason why u stay there?!
One day, may be I'll write a book about these Thoughts
