Hospital quiet

Well, I'm sitting here in Kitten's hospital room. Her surgery went well, recovery is going well too. They've put her in the pediatrics ward, I guess that is where the put the gall bladder people. I bought her a little monkey in the lobby gift shop not knowing that when I would get to her room there would a wild african animal theme going on.
Hospitals are quiet, but in an almost erie way. There's the whirrrr of the IV pump, the leg air thingy, the faint yelps of children from outside the hall. Add to that my wife reassuring little snore, makes for a safe but out of place kind of feel.
Life is good.
