Amazing how all these responses from on line friends can make one feel better. Any way, went to the hospital yesterday to find Linda much calmer but still some lingering paranoia (she thought her water had been poisoned and the people who were dealing with another patient in the room were talking about her, that sort of thing) She responded pretty positively to Michael but wouldn't look at me. We left feeling a little better, then later in the eve I went back alone and sat with her, she finally let me hold her hand and we had a fairly normal conversation. When I left at 9:00 she returned my good night kiss and answered my "I love you" with "I love you" in return. Went home feeling much relieved. Michael and I went over this afternoon and she was almost totally back to normal. We talked, held hands and watched some of the U,S, championship figure skating, reminicing a little about when the championshios were held in San Jose and we went there for the women's finals and saw Michelle Kwan take her 1st title. I plan on going back in a couple hours, after she has dinner, and sit with her for awhile. Hoping she'll be home soon.
