The patient

Hello All,

It's so great to hear about everyone's various adventures. I feel bad that I have not been very good about writing. There certainly hasn't been a shortage of things to write about, but I been so busy with the adventures that I have not had time to write about them.



We are on our 7th day of rain. Right now it is pouring down relentlessly. Quite fitting has been all the time I have spent in the hospital for the past six days or so. While Sid is not a patient in the hospital right now, of which we are eternally greatful, I actually had to go to the hospital with my mother today. She had an outpatient surgery to remove the excess drooping skin along her eyelids. The surgery went very well and righ now she just looks like a Panda Bear, which I told her. Of course she looks really cute as a Panda Bear. But seriously, even with all the bruising around the eyes, they are much more open and wider. She is going to look quite nice with more open eyes, not to mention more comfortable without the drooping skin. Of course, now my sister and I want to do the surgery. We think the puffy, excess skin around the eyes runs in the family. Problem is that if she or I do it, we will not have it covered by insurance. Insurance doesn't cover vanity :-(



So in sum, today I spent time in the Hospital. Spending too much time in a hospital can certainly evoke sadness and restlessness. I am so glad Sid is out and so is my mother of course. Sid really gave me a scare and I think I was "appropriately terrified." I was so happy when they discovered exactly what it was. I also felt happy for him that he no longer had to speculate what was going on. He was a really good trooper and of course was really nice to all the Hospital staff. He was surely the nicest patient, knowing Sid.



Anyway, I think Sid is attempting to go back to a normal routine of work and eating. But I think he may have to take it a little slower for a few more days.



And yes indeed, these are interesting times at work right now. Sometimes I feel like I am going to go out of my mind with all the chaos and ocrazy behaving employees. Sometimes, I think the high level of intensity distracts me from realizing how I really feel about it.



Anyway, I hear that Judy may be passing through here very soon. That would be fun. I have not seen her in Philly for several years. Sid and I will be out there before you know it. Hope to see you all at that time.



Sorry this is such a scatterd sounding message. I am so tired from spending time on my hospital excursions and work. But I did want to get something written to everyone to let you know everything is okay and I am thinking of all of you.

I hope to talk to you soon.
