To begin with, I want to give a shout out to the amazing, caring team of nurses and staff of the Oncology Unit at North East Baptist Hospital in San Antonio for doing such an awesome job of caring for my husband while he recovered from surgery. Thank you all for putting my husband on the road to recovery with such compassion and dedication!
I was also pleased to find a riddle connection in the hospital. One morning as I was walking past the nurse's station, one of the nurse supervisors was showing the others a prize she was offering for a contest at an upcoming meeting. When I expressed interest in the prize, she told me that I had to answer a riddle first.
Riddles follow me everywhere! I remember the day I found a kid's riddle book in the dentist office, and now I'm finding riddle influence in a hospital! I got to thinking that a riddle book wouldn't be such a bad gift to bring to someone in a hospital. A book takes up less space than a flower arrangement, and if it's filled with riddles, it will give the patient some light hearted reading.
So, here are some riddles for those of you who might be spending some time in the hospital. Hopefully a riddle and some laughter might be the best medicine.
Warning: Tell the patient NOT to laugh till it hurts!
