Time out off the ward

I've been off the ward twice today.

My parents came around 6 to take me out to McDonalds for my dinner.
Being a vegetarian my choice wasn't vast so I opted for a Spicy Veggie Deli wrap.
My dinner was nice and worth the funny feelings I was experiencing.

After I got back to the ward I had a very strange conversation about books with
a member of staff.
When I say books, I mean books in general not specific ones.
The general gist of the conversation was the staff members bewilderment at the
way I look after them.
She found it very difficult to understand why I remove the dust covers from books
when I read them (to preserve their quality) and that I always use a book mark and
never fold a corner over to mark my page.
It got to the point where she was asking other people how they go about book care
and we came to the conclusion that she has an unhealthy disrespect for her paper
bound friends.

Moving on....

After the strange conversation about books I decided it was a good time to have a
wander around the ward whilst listening to music.
My choice was 'Neighbourhoods' by Blink-182. I don't know if was due to today's mindset
but I found a strange narrative leading into a depth totally incomprehensible to man.

My friend on the ward gave me 'New Scientist' magazine which helped me to feel a little
better. It looks good but it'll have to wait until I've read 'The Little Book of String Theory.'



After my super music analysis I began to feel quite homesick; first time since I've been in.
I was upset and was eventually given every medication I'm written up for:

• Haloperidol (Anti-psychotic)
• Lorazapam (Sedative)
• Epilim Chrono (Epilepsy control and mood stabilizer)
• Seroquel (Anti-psychotic) 

And now here I am, laying on my bed in my room wondering about whether I'll be going
home tomorrow over night.

Suppose I'll journey into the depths of my brain to find some essay writing skills to
make an attempt at answering the next part of my Open University assessment.

Good night all and I'll write up in the morning.
