And I brought another newspaper to Frank today. First he had not too much of an interest in me or anything else than the screen just in front of him. While in Kalorama the TV set was a decent old-fashioned one (with a real tube!) on a high shelf three meters away in the Maartens clinique it is a multi function flat screen on a large swivel that he can move just in front of his face. That and a headset and the instant result is "comunication is futile, you will be excluded".
But the newspaper still wins from this new flat screen stuff. We had a sort of discussion revolving around the main theme of "recovering is not fast enough, I don't see any improvement". So I started to call on "old memories". Well, that is Kalorama for instance. "Old short time memories". And while remembering that in general it was not a place with pleasant memories, the details were gone. Yeah, it is hard to see improvement if you forget the details from not so long ago.
Well, considering the fact that he's been shunted to and from several places over the past months and his brain is still hard at work knitting itself back together I'm not too surprised. Not to mention that his alertness level in kalorama left much to be desired.
