3am in the ER

watching the third bag of saline drip doing its thing… the aftermath of a nasty stomach bug that hit Merry ((I got it 24 hours earlier, but much less severely)) and provoked several hours of vomiting
meanwhile the drinks vending machine is broken, so a nurse brings me a jug of iced water
UPDATE: starting the fourth litre of saline, 4:47am
