Joe mastering time

While Joe is in the hospital for many years he is becoming severely bored and doesn't even know what to do with himself. He cant do anything because he cant see smell or barley move. Keeping tack and mastering time for Joe is a huge accomplishment for him and gives him something to look forward to. For example, because Joe can master time he can give himself something to look forward too, like holidays. When holidays come around in his head he can imagine and pretend that he is truly with his family and his girlfriend that he loved very much. Joe doesn't have anything else to do with his life because all he can do is lay and sleep in a hospital bed. This really helps Joe because he would go insane if all he did everyday was lay in bed and not know what day and time it was. The way Joe is able to keep track of the time is by having the rays from the sun shine down onto his skin. He is able to feel when the first rays hit his skin because he sense of touch has gotten extremely better because all of his other senses are gone. This is how and why keeping track of time and mastering it is so important to Joe and keeps him looking forward to something everyday.
