Dream a Little Dream of Fear

Dream a Little Dream of Fear
Hi John The reason I was so aware and wary about post operation hallucinations is that a few months before I was hospitalized my mother underwent a 14 hour operation for cancer of the mouth. She came out of that with an elaborate hallucination that the entire staff of the Mass General hospital was involved in an illegal movie in which she was playing a corpse. She never quite overcame that. She died a few weeks ago. I describe her hallucinations in the course of the story - attribute them to "a woman of my acquaintance. That's right, I exploited my 86 year old mother for a pulp fiction story. Was your brother Paul the one I met here in New York years ago? Hospital hallucinations are a common enough phenomenon to have gotten written up in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/21/science/21delir…— June 23, 2010 8:46 p.m.
