As I’ve said before, I spent 8 days at the hospital with Dirt Bike Boy. ?Most of that time was spent in his room watching cartoons, watching the news and making sure he wasn’t in pain. ?But eventually I realized that the hospital was something much more. ?To my surprise it was practically a haven for a single dad. ?Of course it didn’t start out that way.
?Some time around day 3 one of the nurses asked the ex and I, “how long have you two been married?” ?We both laughed and even Dirt Bike Boy had a shocked look on his face. ?When we told her we’ve been divorced for years, she was shocked. ?She couldn’t believe that everyone got along so well. ?Including Dirt Bike Boy’s siblings, cousins, and others. ?
Within 10 minutes of our conversation, I noticed an attractive nurse walk by, she slowed down briefly to flirt with me. ?She’s 5’5″ tall, with brown hair and blond highlights. ?She’s petite and appeared in her late 20′s. ?At first I didn’t think anything of it. ?But later the ex said that the word must have gotten out that I was single and divorced. ?Hmmmm.. an interesting turn of events.
Since Dirt Bike Boy was still in a critical stage of care, I didn’t get distracted. ?I just made a mental note. ?The next day I found out that most of the nursing staff worked 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. ?So I had to figure out if I would see the attractive nurse again. ?The next night she was there. ?Once again, she walked by and flirted with me several times during her shift. ?Once again, I made a mental note.
Well as my son’s health improved, I had to decide what my next move will be. ?I didn’t want to be the moron who hits on a nurse while he’s critical. ?That wouldn’t be a good idea for any self respecting parent.
I’m sure the hospital has rules and regulations regarding situations like this for the medical staff. ?They didn’t give me a handbook with rules or regulations. ?The dilemma I had was with hospital etiquette. ?I have none. ?I have no idea of what is normal etiquette. ?Should I stop her and exchange information like I was at Starbucks? ?Should I slip her a note like I was in the 3rd grade? ?Maybe I could send a message via Dirt Bike Boy’s nurse. ?Or should I just wait for her to approach me?
Even more importantly, will the ex have an attitude when she finds out that I’m attracted to the mystery nurse?
So I have to ask for input from my readers. ?What would you do? Is there a rule for meeting someone that works at a hospital?
