Today was another wonderful “boring” day. Clark is in a great mood. Flirting with the nurses and insisting the doctor listen to his knees instead of his heart with the stethoscope.
There is a psychiatric ward a floor or 2 below us. They have a kind of outdoor “compound”, enclosed with high walls and barb wire. Our guess is that their stay isn’t 100% voluntary. We are still trying to figure out what type of behavior the patients exhibit to be admitted (more on this as we find out).
Their “rooftop patio” is equipped with a basketball hoop, badminton net and some lounge chairs. We try to align Clark’s “window time” to see the psych patients playing. Sometimes they look like they are in a medicated lull, but today they were more lively and we had fun watching them play! There was even a patient playing guitar. Too bad our windows don’t open, because it would have been nice to listen.
Love the reports of active, playful Clark. Keep on chugging along! love, Aunt Sandy

Boring is good.
Dear Clark,
Once you are fully healed and home from the hospital, I will listen to your knees for hours. Love and cuddles.
Sincerely,
The Old One from Calgary
