2:30 am, I couldn’t sleep. I had looked at my phone at 11:10 pm. You know what it’s like in these places, right, your everyday community hospital. The incessant muffled chatter of nurses gathered around the nurses outside the door, a pillow not comfortable enough for my dogs to sleep on, and certainly not one that supports the weight of my creative mind. Not to mention the staccato beeps coming from a machine monitoring my heartbeats and my oxygen intake. I’d rolled, repeatedly, onto my left side, then right, then back again, and in so doing had entwined the bloody sheets around my calves and ankles.
