The temperature in the rooms was unbearably warm. Trying to recover from 2 surgeries while laying on a plastic mattress covered with only a sheet was beyond uncomfortable. I laid there for almost 2 weeks sweating almost constantly.  When you add that to the fact that there is no way to practice personal hygiene in any way that makes a difference to the patient's self esteem, it was terrible. It got to a point that I didn't want visitors because I felt like my hair & body smelled so bad. The nurses were happy to offer the tools available to them. They also offered to help.  This hospital needs a better heating/cooling system. It also needs showering & hair washing areas that will accommodate every patient for whom it is medically safe to use them.
