When I got to the hospital that Wednesday morning April 2, 1997, I saw that my hospital gown had little birds printed all over it. Synchronicity! I took this to be a very good omen. I mean of all the possible designs that could have been on that gown!
Friends from the bird center had come with me that morning. They all also agreed that the hospital gown fabric was a good omen. But what else would they say to a friend about to have her head drilled open while a stranger played laser tag in her brain!
We then all hugged and said our good-byes as I headed in to get my anesthesia, still completely calm and accepting of the fact that I may be "going home".
