Visit With Denise


(July 1) about 2:00 Denise went to visit Dov. She took Dov a hand held electric game (Connect 4). (Sara pointed out to us that he likes to keep his hands busy.) He played with it a short time and then set it aside, indicating that he would like to have it available later.
When Denise arrived, the nurse told her that Dov had yet to finish his lunch, so she could help him with it. Denise started to feed him, but when they took a break Dov picked up the fork and fed himself.
When Denise asked Dov if she could get him anything, he said: "A broken spirit." Denise asked why and Dov said: "To get out of this establishment." Denise then told him that it seems that his spirit is strong, but some parts of his body still need mending and that is why he is still in the hospital.
Overall Dov seemed calm. He was not agitated like he was a few days ago.
