Two days outside the asylum
That’s not correct – it’s a hospital but I thought it might encourage you to start reading. Until last week, over the nine months I have been in the spinal injuries unit here in Glasgow, I’ve been out once, with my brother to Kelvingrove Park. The nursing staff here have pointed out that I may be running the risk of “institutionalisation” – basically the idea that I could become more at home in the hospital than in my own home. It’s difficult not to love the nurses here, with whom I spend a great deal of time.
