I had spent the night in the hospital. It was around maybe nine in the morning the day after the swim meet and I was just waiting on the result of my latest CT Scan to make sure that there were not any lasting injuries in my head and neck.
I was dressed in my own clothes, thank God too since I hated having to wear that stupid ass hospital gown. My ass didn't need to be hanging out like that at all.
What was worse than that gown though was this shit they were passing off as food. I was slowly starving to death with it. I needed to eat more food than this for one thing. And for another it tasted like shit.
I usually ate enough for three or four people on days that I swam a race. My metabolism burned that many calories when I pushed myself like that. And I had not gotten any sustenance from the breakfast I had eaten before the whole day went to shit. By the time I was allowed to eat again I was starving.
