Patient Trauma; A Standard Visit to the Hospital in America.
My five day stay in an American hospital and a window into patient trauma.
“I found Rafael hovering over the dresser which is one of the places he previously resided. He confessed that he was pondering that today was the day I was supposed to be returning from Italy after three moths of travel. He asked if it bothers me that my dream had been cut short. I told him that I hadn’t thought much about it. I am focused on what is and I am deeply grateful that I am home safe with him and near many of my loved ones. He admitted that daily, he is grateful that I lost my opportunity to trade him in for a boyfriend with a vineyard. I asked him not to remind me of that as I take inventory on my wine rack.”
