I've been in hospital overseas (Corsica) with multiple injuries and you are happy because
a) Morphine. Or another pain reliever keeps you high or in high spirits.
b) Progress. You see progress and improvement daily with a physical injury which is mending. You start on your back being groggy, sit, stand, and you are constantly getting better. So the input and reaction is that you are achieving something every day.
c) Company. You are never alone in hospital because you are with other people or even if in a side room you are visited every fifteen minutes.
d) Cheerfulness. Happiness is catching. You are treated by a cheerful nurse. Once a day or every other day you are greeted by a doctor who has a bedside manner. Visitors bringing flowers or gifts. Other patients chat to you or leave because they are better.
e) Attention. You are the centre of attention. Doctors, nurses and visitors - their only interest is listening to you, your news, news about your situation, and giving you attention.
f) Effortless. Your food comes to you. No need to do anything or go anywhere.

g) Hospitals have all sorts of aids if you ask for them. Radios. Trolleys with toiletries or gifts. Shops on the ground floor which your visitors can visit.
h) If you want to speak to your consultant, you can ask the person in charge of the ward to call them for you.
