It was maybe 10 minutes to 2 and I was getting ready to leave for the day. My Dad would arrive at 5:30 and I wanted to finish my homework. This is when the shit hit the fan. My Mom wanted to go to the bathroom. The nurses had to be told because she was hooked up to bed alarms (the stupidest thing in the hospital because they ignore them). The nurse come in, helped her to the bathroom and closed the door over, but not shut. I waited so I could say goodbye. I waited a good 10 or 15 minutes. The nurse wandered back in and went to check on her. When she opened the door, my Mom was over by the sink, just looking around.
She wasn’t responsive. The nurse thought she needed help at first. Oh no, things got much stranger. She had no idea where she was or what to do. Then she wouldn’t even speak. I was watching all this from across the room wondering what was happening. I could see as she shuffled around the sink, her eyes dilated, to the largest possible. I could see her pupils from out the bathroom, across the room and past her bed. The other side of the room!
