What’s a wordle?

29 January 2009

After seeing one over at Biting the Dust, I decided to have a crack at creating a word cloud that summarises what I’ve written about.

Putting the love back into intensive care

18 January 2009

Your boyfriend has had a nasty accident.
He is in intensive care.
He’s intubated, sedated & ventilated.
He’s got a GCS of 3 and ICPs shooting into the mid-40s.
He’s got a catheter in and is incontinent of faeces.

Multiple choice question time.

How do you express your love and show your support for your comatose loved one?  Do you:

  1. Visit every day and sit by his bedside, telling him how much you love him, and that everyone is hoping that he gets well soon?
  2. Actively participate in family-centred care opportunities including brushing his hair and moisturising his dry hands?
  3. Make a playlist of his favourite songs for him to listen to on an iPod, hoping that there’s someone in there to hear the music?
  4. Start wanking him while the nurse’s back is turned and then ask if you can have sex with him.

I wish I could say the answer is either 1, 2, or 3.

I really do.

I guess that some people just have a lot of love to give…
