Toonie

While I was at the emergency room psych unit at the Grey Nuns Hospital. In Edmonton. Since I had gone in an ambulance I didn’t have money nor cigarettes. Except a toonie inside of my pocket. As a diagnosed schizoaffective disorder patient for the past 10 years. I have encountered a lot of nurses. This was a Sunday so the flower shop was closed. My auditory hallucinations asked me to jack them up for a balloon. Though I put the toonie on their counter leaned over and took the laughing one. I gifted that to the first nurse I saw after I got back. From smoking a cigarette. I asked for one from a worker there a Filipino man. The nurse put the balloon up at their nursing station. After one week I was taken back to the same hospital and psych unit. The laughing balloon was still up there though this time facing me. I became suspicious because it should be against their rules and regulations. Everybody probably talked about where the laughing balloon came from including the doctors. I was hallucinating on celebrities at that moment. 🏥🩺 #nurses #NursesCanada #DoctorsCanada
