After my last entry in April, Dr. Lovell put me on different meds, and it was like I was dead. I didn't want to do anything, and Kerry told me when she visited me yesterday that I just like the dolls that she played with when she was little. She could lift my arms and they would just stay there. They wouldn't let her into the hospital, but she waited until my Dad came and he brought her in. She was discharged from the ward after she turned sixteen, and I think she's been living in the street since then. I asked her about it, but she didn't say anything. Dr. Wayne says that I was catatonic, and that it had something to do with a reaction to the meds. I think that Glenn and Dave did things to me. I have two small burn scars on my left hand that weren't there before, and my left wrist has a slashing scar across it. Also, sometimes I bleed now when I go the bathroom, and I didn't used to. I got out of the ward because Anne-Marie told Kerry who told Dr. Ellwood who told Dr. Wayne about something that happened to me. My Dad just thought I had taken a turn for the worse. Dr. Wayne got me another doctor, called Dr. Saviour. He is this bald guy in a wheelchair who came to see me when they got me out of the ward. After he left, I had these incredible dreams, and the Seeing started to go away. In one of them, I was walking though a museum with my Mom, my Dad and Dr. Saviour. He kept asking me if I wanted certain things. I wanted a computer, and I wanted books, but I didn't want some other things that I can't remember. Since that dream, I have been able to look at faces and not See things any more, but I can still work doors with the buttons instead of locks. I was able to watch TV for the first time in months, too. The ideas still come out, but now they come out slow enough that I can deal with them. July 24/89 The doctor's name is Xavier, not saviour. More weird dreams. I don't need to write as much, now.
