“Mom, we should have told you everything.”
It turned out that three months earlier, I had lost consciousness in the middle of the night. Rebecca accidentally heard noises coming from my room and arrived just in time to help me.
At the hospital, the doctors discovered a medical condition that sometimes caused nighttime confusion and temporary memory loss.
During my treatment, I would sometimes get out of bed in my sleep, walk around my room,
and occasionally injure my hands.
One night, I became so frightened by the hospital environment that I begged them to take me home.
Rebecca decided to help me.
The unfamiliar man wasn’t a nurse but a specialist named James who provided home health care. At the doctor’s recommendation, he checked on my condition during the night.
As for my bandaged hand, I had injured it while trying to open the door of my old cabinet during an episode of nighttime confusion.
“And what about the water?” I asked.
