Static Change
Yet another "tale from the hallucinating mind". Static Change shows how fleeting and changing the mind of the affected person can be while the family sees no change in their condition and even sometimes thinks it may be worse. These experiences were very real to me at the time. My family and I think the whole ten day ordeal would have been much easier on all of us if we'd been able to read something like this before it all happened to us. Hallucinations may be all in the mind, but whether caused by a reaction to anesthesia, as in my case, or by some other factor, they are definitely very real to the hallucinating person.
