The company I'm working for has equipped a few employees with exoskeletons to enhance their physical abilities. That's kinda cool
Ummmm...what super villain do you work for?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The order in which stuff was supposed to happen: Breakfast (enabling pain pills), visit with PT, x-rays.
The order in which stuff did happen: Two bites of breakfast, hiccups, another two bites of breakfast with hiccups, at which point PT arrived, so then I took the pain pills, then I worked with the PTs to stand up (ow), take two steps with walker, at which point transport to the x-ray arrived, so PT was walking to the elevator and sitting in the wheelchair (sitting much easier than standing), then x-ray, then return to the room, now sitting up in the chair, PTs having forbidden the bed, to finish my breakfast.
Ah, hospitals.
The other thing that was supposed to happen very early in that process and has not is (TMI) removal of my catheter.

That is seriously interesting. I wonder if I could get the same for some of my more spineless coworkers?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It sounds like a normal hospital stay, Dana! Good luck with your recovery.
Kat, that sounds like a lot of stuff all at once. How stressful!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Holy shit, Kat. At least it's almost summer?

There's an article on CNN.
Very cool!

Ok the exoskeleton thing is cool but the "and we are having them wear a helmet that reads their brain waves to see if they enjoy it" pulls it right back to super villain territory.
