"My name is Sarah Thomas and I'm scared and cold and I really need to go to the bathroom.

They brought me to this place yesterday -- gosh, I think it was yesterday, my memory's not too good lately. I am sure this is a nursing home. I've been in those before, but I don't know the name of this one. I called the nurse, but I can't talk very well right now and the nurses get tired of trying to figure out what I'm saying and they give up. I usually give up trying too."
