Just this weekend, Ani has been vocalizing more and more. Tonight she was looking me in the eye and vocalizing with me as I sang "Kiss the girl" from Little Mermaid. She "had that look" that told me that she was singing and that she knew that _I_ knew that she was singing. I wonder what factors have been involved with this. Her voice seems fuller, stronger since the tonsillectomy. I wonder also if those tonsils were quite painful and irritating. I also wonder now, if she isn't finally catching up on "good sleep" that she hasn't been getting for some time because of snoring and apnea.

Hospitals
Hospitals
Does the joy outshine the sadness?
Relief outweigh the pain?
Hospitals feel so different to me now.
What I notice now is the range of emotions...
In the faces of family
In the faces of patients
In the faces of the nurses
What really gets to me, and it's the same at nursing homes, is the "far off look", like there's nothing to live for, no hope. I've come back from that place, and it's too easy to pull me back again.
