Ok so the conditions were an emergency admission staying in hospital over night but hey ..a trip out is a trip out !
What struck me was all the concrete of my city ... I don't miss that .
The traffic too really crazy and the noise !
But what I choose to focus on was the trees ! OH MY goodness all the trees ! It's a green city here in the UK and I was just in awe . To top it off the hospital ward I was on I had a window bed and trees outside . I sat watching them blowing , the sunlight , the different leaves . It was magical .
The second thing that struck me was interacting with strangers and how quickly we can connect with each other and they don't feel so strange after all .
My friend came with me to the hospital and the taxi driver initially was a bit abrupt and stressed but soon thawed out . We had good chats and at the end of the journey he hugged and kissed me. It didn't feel sleezy just genuine and kind.
The hospital staff were soooo kind too , professional and caring I couldnt have asked for better .
On the wing I was on I met a women in her 30s who has had v bad geanocological ( can't spell it ) problems for a long time . Really been and going through it . The women in the opposite bed had terminal cancer spread through her I assume starting from her female parts .
We all gelled so well and supported each other . It was nice .
It's quite something to experience ourselves with others , brings our personalities out and the positives that can come from interacting through conversation .
I'm home now and need to take it v gently . I don't know how the trip and interacting with others will affect the m.e / CFS ( I'd just got stable after having a neighbour over 3 wks ago ..
But I can't control what will happen now . I'm pleased I didn't push my walking I asked for wheelchairs etc . I got lots of rest in between interacting .
Did I interact too much ,, probably ..but hey it was good to not be alone and be in the world . I'm not going to beat myself ....
Healing can happen ....
Time takes time ....
Easy does it ..
Hope
