Today the repulsive fluids they've been forcing on me appear to have done their job, in respect to one part of my body at least. My voice, although never quite as lovely as Severus's, has returned so I can voice-post on my own and not bother Poppy with it. (I mention Severus because I hear him right now, and I'm so glad I do.)

Right now I'm doing a lot of sleeping and waking up, and each time I wake up I have to be told about everything again. Memory loss is apparently a regular result of head injuries and shock. That sounds simple enough, but it's hard to have things explained to me over and over. It's not much fun for the people explaining, either. I wish I didn't have to answer the question "Do you remember why you're here?" Each time they tell me about the attack I wonder how I could have forgotten such a big thing.

Poppy and the healers tell me that my legs probably won't ever work properly again, and I suppose it's just as well. Running-- or flying-- away from my problems is something I've done a lot of in my life. Now it seems I'm permanently grounded.
