I slept very well last night but didn't get up early enough to go out for a walk. I DID get 2 loads of laundry done, though, before leaving for Be'er Sheva.
I taught just one 2-unit class for Berlitz today: 9:00-10:30. After that, I immediately hopped in the car and drove up to Be'er Sheva (it takes just over 2.5 hours).
When I got to David's ward, I saw him right away, and he was in a very good mood. Today, he was also able to see quite well! In talking more with him, though, it became clear that he is still quite confused, although he doesn't really realize it. He thought he had been there much more than the actual day and a half, and he told me he had been in some very nice place. He also had stories about a prisoner walking right by him in chains. Perhaps the police story is partly true, but I have no idea what actually happened to him, and I didn't even try to ask anyone there. I did talk to the doctor who was on afternoon duty (and who, by the way, was drop-dead gorgeous!), but he hadn't been there before, so he knew very little about David and what had been done or not. He was very friendly and nice, though!
Just before I left, they brought supper for David, and I was happy to see that he ate all of it except half of one small potato that he gave to me and, of course, the wretched white bread! Even I didn't want that!
I drove home via Dimona and the Arava. It may be slightly longer that way, but it's less curvy and much less up-and-down. It's the route all the trucks take. I took it partly for variety but also because I wanted to be on more-traveled roads in case I had any more car trouble (which I didn't). It was kind of cool, too, to see the Dead Sea area at night.
