10:00 AM: Hospital, doctors on morning rounds. Better? Questions?
Me: OK to use laptop? Quite relaxing. Please!
Doctor: Nope. Ok, 1 hour a day. Leaves till afternoon visit.
Me: Big smile! Power on, music, hop off bed. Painful IV lines inserted in blue veins.
Precious privacy moments. Eyes shut, try a slow dance. What, clapping sounds? Hallucinating? One-eyed gaze, shocked. 10 odd people in crisp white coats. WTF?
“Hello Bubbles, medical students. Nice to meet a specimen resistant to antibiotics. Researching. BTW strictly no dancing.”
Me: Specimen? Full name – Bubbles Specimen! Hop back on bed. Longing, want to go home.
A mysterious, mischievous monkey visits misty morning window. Swiftly swinging on overhanging branches. Both gaze lovingly, curiously at each other for hours. Magnetised, entertaining.
Crazy, cold place. Planning a secret escape!
