I can't quite get my head around the fact I'm back in St Graces after five years of being 'healthy'. It feels like a dream. One, big,shitty dream. It felt wrong, I hate to admit it but I had sort of got used to having healthy lungs,used to having a 'normal' life. My parents had been back together for almost 5 years, and together we were getting through the pain of loosing Abby and on top of that, Poe. It had been hard, but we got there. 

I think that's why it hurt so much to be right where I started.

Barb greeted me at the door, I could see the sadness in her eyes for me and that she felt bad, but I could clearly see that she was glad to see me. 
She led me down the hall to my room while giving me an update on what had happened since my last long term stay. I had still been coming every 6 months for my usual check up but that normally only lasted a few hours before I would be given the all clear to go home or back to college, meaning that I only got a short conversation with Barb each visit, which would normally just be a quick catch up then me letting her get back to work. 

Turns out I hadn't missed much, the old guy who had been in the room next door to me during my last long stay 5 years ago has passed away a couple of years ago, Julie's son Miles had just turned 4 and was starting school in September, Barb had gotten older (her crappy joke, not mine) not much else really.

Proves how boring  this place really is.
