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.
