Three times per day, as if some acoustic signal only for generously medicated responds, we climb from our beds, the slow procession to join the size of the unit. As zusammengesunken, disheveled royalties each of us takes blearily our wake anxious love, push our IV poles, wear sweater fend off the harsh air conditioning and float to stumbles to prevent. Some eye contact.Few sprechen.Jeder of us is absorbed in our suffering and our longing again in our bed.
I find this experience strangely move.
Despite the nausea to a horse fell dizziness and enough mind-altering drugs, so many of us to fight our way to consciousness, creakily right join us and step out of our room to the other. At this moment we are able to say "I'll do that, what you say me, could help" a careful step after coming - the height of our ambition meets the limits of our capabilities - life again we left behind when we entered the hospital.
This is a glimpse of what it means to be involved in our healthcare system.
