Sneak Peek into Senior Life?

Yesterday, I was granted "wheelchair access" to get out of my room and join the weekly hospital Arts & Healing class. This week's class was on making greeting cards. I looked forward to getting out of my room and seeing people (not necessary talk but just see).

So there were 6 of us prego ladies in same pre-term situation. I was wheeled out to the lobby area of same floor. We were sat in nice leather recliners w/a craft tray and the volunteers passed out the paper/craft supplies as needed. Some of us were hooked up to our BFFs (IV/Mag) machine.

There wasn't any real direction for what to do but seemed like the prego ladies were into it. At first, I thought it was lame and just started slapping things together just to get going. My theme was going to be a lavender/green"welcome baby card" to match nursery theme colors. Once I got into it, I was actually having fun. I felt awkward at first b/c I was feeling hot and the ladies around me were ESL or just not talking.

Eventually, I started to chat w/the gal next to me. Sweet lady-so we were both hopeful to see each other again and at these meet ups next time. I had fun. I was the only one wearing mumu gown lol. The next time I go to this, I'll be dressed normally.

I hope I can go to Sunday's needlework class! So is this what a life of a senior living in a old folk home would be like?Not sure how to take it.
