This next section is considered strange but true. Since I wasn't there but our daughter was, she will tell the tale.
I remember I was taking my Astronomy class so it must have been between September and December of last year. I think it was mid-September. I was visiting my mom as many days as I could in the hospital. This day, I remember, was a Thursday because that’s my day off. I went to the hospital at 11am. I went to the 5th floor, all the way to the end of the hallway and saw Mom spaced out in her bed like normal. Well normal for this 30-day period. I got her to agree after much delay to some lunch. You could order a patient up lunch like room service. When she got her lunch, I went to eat in the cafeteria.
After the meal, I stopped at the computer area for visitors. I wanted to get some homework done. Unfortunately, these computers didn’t have flash player, so I couldn’t do much work. So, I wound my way back up to my Mom’s floor.
She looked confused and asked about lunch. Explaining that she already ate had become common occurrence. She seemed confused today. When she first got to the hospital she was out of it, the next week she was better, then she got moved to a new floor and seemed to get more confused.
