Fountain of Hope

A tad over four months has passed since our daughter was discharged from the San Diego County hospital where she spent 30 days. In-patient, then out-patient, rehabilitation followed, as she continues recovery from brain trauma: “severe hypoxic injury and bilateral subcortical infarctions”.

She seems normal enough, but a professional or family member could quickly see that she is at least somewhat disabled. Physical handicap persists and she needs some supervision; while intellect and memory seem to be mostly intact, she’s childlike in a way that makes her vulnerable.

The Featured Image is a reminder about where she spent so much of March 2023. The fountain, which I walked by often, is part of the hospital property. I used Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on the 21st of that month. Vitals: f/1.7, ISO 10, 1/570 sec, 23mm (film equivalent); 1:13 p.m. PDT.
