Water for Elephants Chapter 16

By Sara Gruen

Chapter 16

Jacob is back in the nursing home. The nurse, Rosemary, says he's been talking, but he doesn't know what he's been saying.
Our old friend is uncomfortable, and then sad. He worries about holding on to his mind and his sense of self.
Rosemary goes in search of the doctor while Jacob tries to relax. He thinks about how he's becoming more forgetful. His whole family seems alien to him.
He tries to remember what he was talking about with Rosemary, and has even more trouble. Poor guy.
