    I have a sneaking suspicion that the pushups and sit-ups were more for the benefit of a hot nurse than for your health.... ;)

    Yes. We always find it impressive and admirable when patients with the flu and strep throat are doing sit ups and push ups on the floor in the hospital room. No liability issues there.

    Hahaha I made sure to do it when no one was loooking...if no one sees...is someone really doing it????

    As long as you don't tattletale on yourself when you black out later that night. And upon awakening in the ICU you say: Oh. Maybe I shouldn't have done those sit ups and push ups on the floor when no one was looking. Heh, heh, heh.


    Ooooh....you're right....you sound pretty smart :)

    I hope you washed your hands very well after touching the floor. Hospitals are very, very germy places.

    Hand sanitizer isn't going to help what's on those
    Floors. Just saying.
