Last week I was in the hospital. It was three days of pain, morphine, and my butt hanging out of a poorly tied gown. For the most part I was sleeping or moaning, but during those moments when fairly alert met almost painless I took the opportunity to check out the provided entertainment options. As you might imagine, they were somewhat lacking.
And then I got a notice from TuneIn reminding me of a basketball game featuring the University of Arizona and some school that would soon have an “L” on their schedule. I immediately knew what I was doing for the next couple of hours. I called for some blood work, a new pillow, and some uninterrupted quiet time. Then I opened the TuneIn app and listened as the Wildcats extended their winning streak with malice. I hardly moaned at all.
Of course that changed briefly when TuneIn suggested that in addition to the U of A I may enjoy following Arizona State. Luckily, I was too weak to throw my phone, so I made a mental note to mention it. And I just did.
The convenience of the TuneIn app gave me a moment of normalcy in a place that is anything but, and for that I was very grateful. I also enjoyed the morphine.
