Moved Hospitals

Hello! ^-^
I wasn't able to come home yesterday, because of my blood test results >.>
I had to move hospitals, and will be staying- I'm not sure how long for.
The hospital is actually quite cool;the wards are much bigger. There used to be 4 beds in my other ward, here there are at least 17. This is both good and bad- good because there's more space but bad because it's harder to find me, more difficult to adjust and more people that means more noise.
The bed doesn't squeak,thankfully. There's a bed so a parent can stay overnight, but the chairs for visitors are a little less comfortable... but at least there's a chair,right? The curtains are easier to move and are blue- I wonder if this is because of the calming nature of the colour?
Security is a little  better- I can lock valuables in my bedside table. Apart from that, it's quite similar. Also, I have my own sink- great because there used to be only one sink per ward. As far as I'm concerned, TV is free and THERE ARE DARN PLAY STATIONS .Even though I never used one, I wonder how much money this hospital has. In terms of conditions, I don't think there is a better one. At both hospitals, the nurses and doctors are extremely friendly and help me to remain calm during tests. It's really similar, so there isn't too much to adjust to ^.^
Anyway, I am supposed to have a biopsy tomorrow. I'm a little frightened, but I hope it goes well. Normally, I'm fine as long as I don't have to feel any of it. I had my left hand cannula removed because it leaked- same thing that happened to my right hand one. So, I had a new one inserted, and this time, I DID FEEL IT. Woah, I'm so abnormally brave. I felt the needle and everything, but hey. Worth it. Medicine didn't sting for now, but I will take extra caution with this cannula (on my right hand, but in a different spot) so it doesn't sting. I had a blood test very early this morning too, and I had cream applied last night. However, by the time I had the test (about 5.30am) the cream wasn't working very well and so I had to feel it. Ouch. I survived though.
I couldn't sleep last night because of the televisions. They were not extremely loud, but I think it would have been much more polite if they turned off the televisions at 9pm as instructed or at least turned them down so I would not have to hear those kids' cartoons. When I was trying to sleep after my blood test, another kid was screaming her head off. I could bear it, but only  just.I wonder if anyone else got woken up, but it was rather unpleasant. If she was getting a painful test, I understand,yes, but I would have benefitted from earplugs.
Anyway, I know I may have been able to post a little better if I was not in hospital, but I'm trying my best. I am stuck for page ideas,but once I have a good idea I'll add it.
Enjoy the Summer sunshine, and if you are in the southern hemisphere, enjoy your winter!
Eating healthy. DONE RIGHT.
