Life in Bed

The pace and routines of a hospital stay quickly become familiar. People come and go, checking this and that. Carts rumble by; other patients struggling (like you) with relearning to walk shuffle by. Someone brings you meals; someone clears away the dishes when you're done.

Occasionally a family member or friend comes by. These are special moments.

Hospital

I fell again soon after my most recent post and heve been here in hospital ever since.

Although the care has been good, it has reached the point where the negatives of being confined outweigh (in my mind) the positives of being free.

This is, no doubt, a larger theme in life. To be confined v. to be on your own, free to make your own mistakes or victories is a big deal in life.

I am not a child but a 72-year-old, proud man.
