Why I hate hospitals...
My mum shares a room with four other patients. Opposite her there's a demented old woman who never gets any visitors. I feel bad for her, she's alone and confused and obviously off her rocker.
She keeps cursing and moaning, shouting how much pain she's in, begging for someone to kill her, asking for her possessions. She keeps saying "Dad (or Father, I don't know which she means...) come take me home"... It's horrible, and honestly I feel like curling into a ball when she's at her worst.
And then there's a woman down the corridor who keeps howling. It's a long, haunting sound, and it sounds like an animal in pain.
Not to mention the smell. The first time we went to see Mum, I almost vomited on our way home.
I'd lose my mind if I had to spend more than two days in that environment.
I guess I should do the dishes. It's actually dad's job, and I vacuumed the whole house already, but I'm so paranoid that I have to do it myself. Seriously, I can't even share a glass with anyone, so I check all the glasses after Dad has washed them to make sure they really are clean. Yeah yeah, I know, it's not exactly normal, but boohoo.
I need a new wristwatch.
