The Cell
Wherein our narrator finds consistency
maintained.
I'm in the residence wing of the Royal Adelaide
Hospital. Which is really a series of monastic cinder-block cells, each
containing a cot-like bed with only one (!!!) pillow, and a common bathroom /
shower for the 15-or-so units on this wing of the floor. I could be in hospital
- except if I were, I'd at least have my own bathroom! Gah, I haven't shared a
bathroom in a public facility since I toured Japan with my sister, 16 years ago.
Well, I knew it was going to be like
this. I just don't know if I'm happy seeing my expectations so utterly
fulfilled.
