~~~CONTINUED COMFORT & COPING VIBES~~~ for DR DR Iris and her mother.

The very first time I came to NYC was to visit my eldest sister who lived in a tiny apt in one of the turret-like structures in the Ansonia. I remember her bathroom had a window that looked into a shaft. it was it was spooky, but you could hear the odd opera singer practicing scales or other artistic sounds wafting up from other apartments. Seemed magical. The ground floor housed a Tower Records at that time. For years after she moved, until post 9/11, I could confidently walk in the lobby past the doormen, take the elevator to the top floor and walk up to the roof for a great view.

And here’s an old clip of Jay & the Americans singing up on that very rooftop.

A Tower Records in the basement would have been extremely damaging to my wallet.

DR Rodzinski, around 1984, I had Thanksgiving dinner in one of the Ansonia tower apartments. It was the home of a celebrated scene-costume designer (Zack Brown, maybe?) and my friend Bill Tynes was watching the apartment while the designer was off on a job. It turned out to be the tower apartment haunted by the ghost of a little girl that's been mentioned in several books about the Ansonia and the Upper West side.

And so to my adventures yesterday. I was due to arrive at the surgical center by 1:30 so I scheduled my AAR pickup at 12:00 - O never know how late the driver will be, how traffic will be, and I prefer to arrive early. So, the car arrived on time, and I was on my way by 12:15. The driver had another passenger on East 73rd Street to pick up as well. So, the passenger was a pleasant, very old actress named Joyce and she was traveling with her assistant , a middle-aged gentleman that I had the impression of being a retired dancer, They talked about the movie Scarlet Street and Ida Lupino all the way to my destination on East 22nd Street.

I arrived at the surgery center just around 1:00. I was checked in after giving them my debit card and signing a million forms. At 1:30 I was taken ionto the pre-surgery area where I was dosed five times in the next two hours with about five different medications to numb my eyeball and to dilate the eye. By 3:30 I had finished Larry Blank's memoir I Was Playing Their Song, and I was taken by wheelchair to Operating Room #3, where I was worked over. The surgery was finished by 4:00.

The surgery last October was a piece of cake. Yesterday's surgery seemed twice as long, painful, and - hope I'm wrong - not easy. About halfway through it, I began to fear the numbness was wearing off, and there were several sharp shocks. I know some of it was pressure, some may have been my nerves, but the surgeon said that there was problem with the cataract and it was buried deep in the eyeball. I don't remember my eye hurting after the last surgery, perhaps it did, but my eye yesterday resulted in two different pain pills and an extra one to take at bedtime.

There is no pain this morning, and I'm hoping that the post-surgical follow-up today is positive. So, I see Dr. Vadada this morning, after which I will go to my pharmacy to pick yp the three sets of eyedrops I will need for the next month. I'll then go to Staples and scan the three ballet scores that Doug is waiting on. Then, I will come home, check the scans from Staples and email them to Doug, aet the alarm on my cell phone for the four times a day to take the eyedrops, and get on with my life.

Thanks for the updates, DR elmore3003. Glad that things seem to be on the mend.

~~~CONTINUED HEALING VIBES~~~

I've had too many cases of gastrointeritise and food poisoning, the worst being from day-old pizza. Iy was a party in Queens, and I stayed over, sleeping on the floor. I awoke around 6:00 am, Sunday morning, knowing I was going to be sick. I left my friends a note, took the subway (RR?maybe) to 42nd Street, praying don't let me thrown up here, where I transferred to the Broadway Local, praying don't let me throw up here. I got off the train at 79th and Broadway and walked past all these dressed-up churchgoers strolling around 8:00 to 9:00 on Broadway. I got to the corner of Broadway and 80th Street where I threw up all over myself and the sidewalk. Completely humiliated, I walk3ed-ran the two blocks to my apartment where I spent the remainder of the day being violently ill.
