my dad was in the hospital, mostly in icu and some of the time in rehab last fall, from november sixth to january third. most of the time that he was in icu, he was in a drug induced coma.

this series from the startribune gives a really good feel for what it was like for me during that time. it's very familiar sounding, except my dad was at united hospital in st. paul. he didn't have ARDS (which is what the woman that the series is about had), but it's spot on, otherwise.
