Awful conversations overheard.

A hospital worker trying to convince a sobbing old woman that she shouldn’t be upset. People who fall can’t remain in our own homes. Her daughter only had her put in a home because she cared.

Same woman later trying desperately to focus on the best parts of this.

Listening to a bunch of staff bully a woman with myasthenia gravis (my mother, with similar symptoms to mine, was just diagnosed with a form of it) into doing things that she knew would make her fall, all the while pushing her further and further into collapse and convincing her they were doing her a favor.

No word on when, or even what time frame, I’ll get out. I’m having real trouble today, can’t do anything I could do yesterday. And I can’t go home this weak and unable to eat or drink more than nibbles. Can’t.
