Good luck.... I have only had to share once while I was in the hospital for a week. I had the worst luck right from the start with a woman my age and her husband who insisted on sleeping over every single night. Initially it was bad because when I got to the room he was sleeping IN MY BED because it was more comfortable than the fold out chair thing! So I was in pain in the hallways waiting forever while they had to strip and reclean that side of the room. Then he moved his sleeper chair to the foot of his wife's bed instead of at the side because it was "too tight" for him - but he ended up blocking my path to the bathroom completely because I was on the window side. Everytime I wanted to go I had to call a nurse to come wake him up and move him out. I had to go a lot too since I had given birth 6 weeks before and was experiencing my first "aftermath"....

OMG- the last time I was in the hospital my room mates husband tried to stay- visiting hours ended at 8 and when he was still there at 930 I called the nurse and they told him he had to leave, he said no and security came up and made him leave!! No way was I going to sleep with some strange man in the room!!!
I felt sorry for my moms room mate last week- They gave her a different type sleeping pill than she is used to and between the sleeping pill and the pain pill it caused her to sleep walk. She walked to her room mates side and the room mate woke up to see my mom staring blankly at her! Then my mom walked down past the nurses station and tried to get out the doors into the elveator- they shuffled her back to her room and put an alarm on her bed which her room mate said was going off all night long because my mom kept trying to get up!
