It doesn’t take long for lazy days to get boring. Having already had one, even with work yesterday, I found myself really bored today. I did chores, and caught up on Legion, I find myself having to watch the same episode two and three times before I feel I understand what’s going on, which is why I’m still only on the 3rd episode. Thank God for DVR, or I’d never get to watch anything interesting.

Sam texted me today, they’re releasing Candace. We chatted for a bit, it sounds like her scans didn’t show anything that might need corrected, or that might be physically causing her amnesia. So they really didn’t have any further reason to keep her at the hospital. Sam said he’ll be looking after her for the time being, but he was still hoping that maybe I could spend time with her. He said she did better when I visited.

I’ll admit, it seems odd, like he’s scheduling a play date for a kid or something. Which doesn’t help that I’m the playdate. But I really feel for her, she’s gone through a lot, and at the same time it’s all just been dumped on her ‘cause she can’t remember any of it. It’s hard to imagine how that’d feel.

On the other hand, it’s exciting. How many people get the chance to learn about a person as they learn about themselves? I suppose all parents get that chance with each of their kids, but this is different, she’s already an adult. Well, minus her tantrums I guess. But even then, if the tantrums are a result of her situation, maybe helping her rebuild her memories will help with the tantrums. And if we can’t rebuild her memories, I get to be there to help her build new ones.

So yea, I’m kind of excited for this. We decided to meet up on Friday, since I don’t have anything scheduled. I did have to explain that he’d have to come get me since I can’t drive. Sam thought that meant I didn’t have a vehicle, I forgot I hadn’t explained my tumor to him. A conversation for the drive after he picks me up.

Max also got back to me about a lunch date, so I’ll get to catch up with her on Sat. She said she found a new deli last week while I was in the hospital, said I’d like it.

So yea, that’s my day, not uneventful, but not exactly productive either. On the plus side, the swelling around my broken nose seems to have finally gone away. Still sporting a nasty bruise though.
