HOME

"And I kept telling everyone, I want to go home, I want to go home."

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I think there must be some parable some lesson that I will learn from all of this. I'll wake up say, and you were there and you were there, and you, and you, and you.

At the end of each session, I have with the doctor, the PT, the dietician.
I tell them (in so many words words) I want to go home. I want to go home.

But instead, they offer sensible and thoughtful advice about what I might need in the future.

"This disease is an expensive one so save your money."

"Be nice to your sister you're going to need her."

"Order a leg brace now, you may need it in the future."

I said to the PT, why doesn't anyone say you may not need it but just in case, or, sometimes people need this sometimes they don't.

I just want to go home.

They never offer hope.
