I thought this was a pretty good description of an old lady's indignity and how she closes herself off from harsh reality. If that was your intention you have managed it well. I believe most of us might take refuge in a "nice place" when enduring this type of treatment. But, I'm not sure what the point was. Were you telling her final thoughts before she died or was it snapshot of her daily life in the nursing home/hospital? If she died, perhaps you could revisit the piece and use a device to show us she had died...such as one of the nurses noticing something different.
