A tizzy of a day here that was part of life’s treasure. Got word Grace has found a line on suitable lodgings for herself and we may be able to pull the handle on the unit at Big Pink as the summer real estate market comes on and there is real optimism on getting us […]

Sorry, Folks. Got caught in charging hell and some details went down with devices dead as door-nails. Sequentially. The Apple laptop got hung up on something, iPhone cord got snapped in the hospital bed moving parts. Then the phone died and had to be dispatched to the nursing station in the next Zip Code. The […]

HOLY SMOKES! LUNCH WAS SO GOOD AND SO PLENTIFUL that I COULDN’T FINISH IT! It reminded me I havn’t had a decent meal in nearly three months! Maybe I should back up up a little and get us on generally the same sheert of music. Today was scheduled to be a luncheon tour of the […]

Afternoon, Gentle Friends and Family! I have had a busy day attempting to organize a modest week of activity that in more ordinary times could- oops, BP: 110/66- normally be accomplished with a couple calls or texts before breakfast. Some of the stuff is differentiated by proximity and chronology. Some is legitimate “old news” masquerading […]

Gentle Readers, I apologize for the erratic and volatile stream of these situation reports. They were intended to convey the stark horror of entering the health system as a fairly sentient adult and having independence shorn away in a manner equivalent to being beaten and incarcerated after having stuck up the 7-11 Bodega down at […]

I tried to write to you yesterday, but it turned out bleak and could only send it to a few. My spirits were down due to the the condition of my confinement and the persistent low mutterings of “Hello!” and “Nurse!” that emanated through the afternoon and deep into the night from the occupant of […]

A quick one today with nothing on the schedule except sponge bath and personal yoga. Expect a therapy session but no evidence of one appearing as yet. If one appears, intend to walk and demonstrate desired capabilities while protecting ankle from further damage. The Medication Specialist made her weekly visit to confirm reduction in morning […]

There was a late note from Paula yesterday reminding me of the Appointment by stretcher today. Subject? Urinary was the one word description,which I think is about the quality of my kidneys and the urine they are producing. I hope I can ask for removal of the Foley device which requires the catheter. Based on […]

I put a picture of the wound under discussion today that actually predates the dramatic femoral artery intervention. Then I deleted it as too graphic. It was, I think, a problem that dated back to the period of the 44-mile round-trip drives from the Farm in Culpeper to the wound specialist in Warrenton for weekly […]

Just completed the Big Meeting which essentially said “Two weeks here in Woodbine if he continues therapy successfully unless an assisted living facility will take him sooner.” That is a pretty good bottom line but there are some other things flying around that need notation, at least. At the start of this Monday, Prime Minister […]
