Daily Doodle - September 19, 2011

I remember the sky mostly, staring at it for hours ... praying to a god I don't believe in. Then the CCU, the noise, the light, the smell. The last time I experienced that smell, things didn't turn out too well. And no chairs.  I really needed a chair. Why didn't they have chairs in this place? Then I saw him on the bed in the corner, looking small but awake! How could he be awake already? And he recognized me! He couldn't speak, but he moved his finger to let me know that he was there. It was enough. It was everything.



Many thanks to Dr. Fraser Rubens and the staff at the Ottawa Heart Institute.
