so many have been so kind and helpful, from close friends to strangers "just doing their jobs" – notably so many nurses going out of their way to help.
yesterday getting out of the icu and coming to the regular ward, helen then curt then grace then peter came to visit me and bring me stuff. then when the hospital insisted that because it was first night out some next of kin should stay with me, peter ended up doing it, sleeping awkwardly on the fold out cot beside my bed and rearranging my empire of pillows – its almost impossible to find a sleeping position when i have four bandaged areas and sleeping flat on my back is impossible too.
such generosity people have shown, that i will emerge from this with such a store of gratitude that i wont have room for anything else – except the six or so pillows on my bed with which we keep trying engineer potentially workable sleeping positions.
Jared, you are just a remarkable human bean.
