:13:02
but this terrible Ioneliness
stayed on.
:13:08
People promised to visit me...
:13:12
but they didn't come.
:13:15
And when they came,
they talked to my mother...
:13:21
and I stayed in my silent world.
:13:24
And when I talked,
my mother hit me lightly...
:13:30
and said she'd tell me later.
:13:34
I wanted to participate.
:13:39
How long did you stay in bed?
:13:49
Nearly 30 years.
:13:51
I always tried to get up.
:13:55
Sometimes
I couldn't move at all.
:14:00
It was awful.
:14:04
When the doctor noticed
it could be very long...
:14:10
he took me off the morphine.
:14:14
It was difficult,
but I got through it.
:14:30
People think deafness
means silence...
:14:35
but that's wrong.
:14:38
It's a constant noise...
:14:42
going from a gentle humming...
:14:46
through some cracking sounds to
a steady droning, which is worst.
:14:58
You don't know
what to do any more.
