I saw the sun come up this morning. And I saw the green of the trees through the window to the side of this building. I actually saw them today. And I just stared. It’s a beautiful time of day. The light bounces off the earth beautifully.

I’m not a morning person generally and so most mornings I would have missed this. I’m that person who can keep you up at night..But sleep through a morning.
Here it’s the trolley that wakes you first. Around 3AM. It’s distinctive beeping is merely to announce

It’s arrival. Good morning is the next word you will hear. And your hand goes out instinctively. Blood pressure and temperature vitals. A quick look over to see that you’re fine and they are at the next bed. Why am I thinking that this is just not like

The ice cream truck sound. How did I get there. At around five it’s blood tests. These are important. It’s what the doc looks for for consistency. The other vitals are important .. but I’ve learnt that consistency comes from here.

And that’s when your coffee gets snuck in as well. Turn around and it’s there. No need for asking. Like clockwork it’s just there. And a rusk. I know the drill now. It’s up at 3. Short sleeping intervals from there but it’s up at 3.

So..hey..I might just be a morning person now through no fault of my own.
The new drips and other medication come in at about 6. And there is always a decision to up or lower the oxygen levels. I’ve been on two litres a day..or just more. Others here have

All my colleagues are up this morning. And might I say it myself .. looking much better. We are all here still. We greet in the mornings. And exchange wisdoms. We are laughing this morning. It’s just different. Even though bed no 2 is still struggling somewhat. Coughing

But we can all see the improvement. And he knows it too. It took him to the brink for 3 days..but here he is today. Giving the nurses hell. That’s just him. And they know him.
To see him grumpy and upright is actually a pleasure though. For the last three days

He has been just sitting there in his bed. Rocking gently backwards and forwards. And almost falling over at times. Until his hallucinations stop snd he is back with us. Grumpy is good.

Do you want to know the distinctive sound here.. Ward A just like all the other wards:
Can you guess:
....... coughing.
Different types. Deep. Superficial. General....
it’s endless. It’s continuous and it’s there. You struggle with hearing it in

.. but we won’t. We can’t. It’s been our own journey. And each will leave when they are ready. We know this. And that’s a good thing to. We are healing but differently.

I’m staring outside through the window again. The blue sky touching the top of the trees. And the light bouncing through the leaves. But there is a different sound to. It’s of a city coming to life. I hear a car. A motorbike. Traffic. Faintly. It’s good.
