I remember some weird things from the first few days/nights. It felt like my memory had gone from fair/poor to poor/poor overnight. I have a memory of being loaded onto a gurney and taken someplace and brought back.

My memory has been getting worse and worse and I'm seriously concerned that I have the beginnings of dementia. This is the only place I've said so, now, besides to myself.

While I was still in the God-knows-where wing the first night and day, they did something where you are a target and they hose you off with benzo "gas" to calm you down. On the afternoon of the first day, they did that and while I was looking at the light on the ceiling, all sorts of weird things I saw. Like my fingerprints and all my collected medical data were being stamped on my head. I saw some of it, and it took several days to get over it.

I'm still not sure about everything that happened but I became very aware that hospitals conceal a ton of stuff from us.

how frightening
