  Back in 1976/7 my friend Ruth used the word NORMALCY I protested that there was no such word.  Ruth, quick off the mark, consulted her American Dictionary.  Her  word was there.  We Brits prefer NORMALITY  Some years later whilst in conversation with Mary Lou Lavallee I used the British word "disorientated"  ,"No, no, no" she said "the word is " disoriented " Normality  left my life in the days/weeks when I was in the hospital and the clinic.  I was utterly disoriented.   I was lost.  At home I am en route  to normality BUT NOT YET!

I lost more than half of my personal  hospital clothing in the moves: tee shirts, underwear, walking shorts Ah well, put him in a Johnnie, that'll do.   The crowning blow was when one martinet threw away my old clothes and bag,  (saving only my iPhone charger) What I lost on the swings I gained on the roundabout. When I was in the surgical recovery a nurse handed me a boot, saying "put this on".  Then she disappeared, leaving no instruction as to use.  The boot followed me home. I prefer Skechers!
