I used to joke that I'll try everything once. Haha. Very funny. The joke doesn't work when doing unusual things twice, even with sirens and high speed as an extra.

Stil baffled I pretend to observe this fake reality show from behind  a one-way mirror. The night noises of an intensive care ward remind me of my vagabond days trying to catch some sleep while waiting for a delayed flight in a crowded departure lounge in a foreign place.

During the day I carefully keep my distances from the secret Information of sideway glances and whispered exchanges. If you have something to tell me, do it. If not , don't expect me to read between the lines and no, I will not fill the gaps. I will be the prfect patient for as long as possible. Polite and ignorant and not at all interested in anything but that potted plant at the end of the hallway.

I didn't realize you were still there! Oh no.

This doesn't sound good. Are you back in the hospital or is this a flashback? Hope things are okay there.

Against all expectations or hopes I am back a second time. Different place and different body parts/system involved. Or whatever.

Sending you best wishes for good and lasting recovery. Thinking of you, Sabine.

Yes. A baffling situation. Sending love to you and your prince on the white horse. Looks like there is art work on the walls in the hallway of the intensive care unit. Except for the closest door frame, the blue door frames appear to be the color of the sky in the mountains.

Oh shit, so sorry. Thinking of you and hoping you're out again and staying out very soon.
