Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I wonder if Dr. Green Eyes is back on-call this morning?

Skip is cooking up a storm as we speak (or type).

Larry - hope you're able to come. If you have your cell phone, please keep us posted.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #33 on:** August 31, 2008, 08:25:25 AM »

Otherwise...

I text'd Larry a little while ago, asking him to call me if he needs anything. I have some stuff I need to take care of here at the apartment, but after I'm done, I'll try to head back down to the hospital to see how things are going.

In the meantime....

What odd dreams I was having - not bad dreams, just odd dreams.

When I finally arose, I thought it was really late but it really isn't.

OK - Well, I need to run the vacuum, and spiff up the bathroom for the guests (of my other roommate) who will be here later this afternoon... And then I'll head back down to visit and check in on DR elmore.

Heading down now to get started on lunch. Looks like the mowing will happen in late afternoon rather than late morning.

DR Elmore, upon your return be sure to start using you blood glucose meter. It is very simple to use. Just poke, squeeze, insert, and wait for the little number to pop up on the screen. Then you can keep track of how high, or low, you blood sugar is.

Oh yes, the other word that girl used to refer to me was Pretentious.

Delightful girl.

As I sit here in the drawing room, looking at my etchings, and listening to Mahler, I can think of no more pretentious person than I.

On this last day of August 2008, I would feel terribly remiss if I did not point out a couple of errors in der Brucer's posting of yesterday evening:

Indeed!

The Mayor of New Orleans has ordered a mandatory evacuation.

The issue is not will their be victims, but rather, where will the victims be.

The Republicans have tough choices to make, To hold a celebratory convention while people are running for their lives is not a good idea.

One of the prime reasons for a convention is to get PR - and now all eyes will be on the Gulf Coast, not the Twin Cities.

The logistics of postponing the convention are horrendous - in fact it is well neigh impossible; rearranging thousands of hotel accommodations and convention space on short notice just can't be done.

One way or another, the Republican Party must meet in convention to conduct the business of the company.

I suspect the convention will proceed on schedule with a re-arrangement of activities and a ~~radical~~ very definite change in tone.

der Brucer

Third line: Should read: "The issue is not will there be victims..."

Sixth line (middle section): Should read: "... in fact it is well nigh impossible;"

Mind you, I'd never have brought it up except that someone took such recent glee in correcting another DR!

As she hasn't popped in on her birthday in recent years, I don't hold out much hope for today.

I'm still a little groggy but must soon joggy which will hopefully make me less foggy and will certainly make me quite soggy.

The 25 best L.A. films of the last 25 years
Which films have best captured the city we love? Our choices may surprise you.
August 31, 2008

"LOS ANGELES isn't a real city," people have said, "it just plays one on camera." It was a clever line once upon a time, but all that has changed. Los Angeles is the most complicated community in America -- make no mistake, it is a community -- and over the last 25 years, it has been both celebrated and savaged on the big screen with amazing efficacy.

Damaged souls and flawless weather, canyon love and beach city menace, homeboys and credit card girls, freeways and fedoras, power lines and palm trees . . . again and again, moviegoers all over the world have sat in the dark and stared up at our Los Angeles, even if it was one populated by corrupt cops or a jabbering cartoon rabbit.

A few weeks ago, a group of Los Angeles Times writers and editors sat down to celebrate our celluloid city by selecting the 25 films from the last 25 years that best speak to the essential DNA of the Southland. We started with two simple ground rules: The movie had to communicate some inherent truth about the L.A. experience, and only one film per director was allowed on the list, a guideline that kept City of Angels specialists such as Michael Mann, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Altman and Paul Thomas Anderson from dominating.

What I'm worried about is...

DR elmore was mentioning how he couldn't get the blood glucose meter he bought to work, however, after thinking about it, I wonder if his home glucose meter is having the same problem that the one in the ER did: his blood sugar level was so high that is was not registering as a number, just as "RR" - whatever that means. -The nurse was thinking that it could have stood for "Really, Really High".

$:-\$

So, now I'm wondering if his home meter was working, but just wasn't able to give him a reading over the past few days. Yes, by the time he left the ER the other day, they were able to get a numerical reading, but it was still on the (very) high side. Hmmm... Hopefully, he brought his meter with him to the hospital in order have it checked out, and to get some guidance on how to use it.

Well, that's probably too much information for this public forum...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #59 on:** August 31, 2008, 10:14:24 AM »

Otherwise, I just finished cleaning up the apartment a bit, and shall now get ready to head out and back down to St. Luke's. I'll have my iPhone with me, so I'll should be able to post an update from the ER.

-And, yes, I shall continue to the Bearer of Good Vibe-ings.
