I'm on my breakfast break. Stella tired herself playing on my work table and completely ignored the fact that my picking her up and setting her on the floor 5-6 times meant she was not welcome. Annabelle will pull this later, and Thatch will check out things, too, when the mood hits him.

Last night TCB asked, regarding hospitals:

Don’t they realize how much planning is required by the patient?

No, I really don't think they do. I've spent a lot of time in hospitals and nursing homes caring for family members and my opinion is not a favorable one. I've met caring doctors and nurses, but the concern of the admin staff is tending to the needs of the institution. That's the job.

I also feel that many procedures are over-marketed. I've heard a lot of "back to work the next day!", which in many cases is quite unrealistic. This approach may sell more medical equipment, but I feel it does a disservice to the patient and family. My surgeon and his staff are quite good, but even they don't really prepare the patient adequately for what's to come.

I was able to reschedule a therapy appointment from next week to tomorrow and that will help.

Vibes for John G and his family. I also vote for home help. I think your dad will get better care, for starters. Is there anyone who can recommend a service for that?

Someone on the campaign trail, a college student, asked Pete B. what his favorite symphony was. He said Beethoven’s 7th. We actually have a candidate who can answer that. One of my favorites, too.

That's nice to hear. Another point in his favor.

Such sad news about the death of Elijah Cummings. I really admired him.

I feel the same. I never met him in person, but he was listed as a reference for a young man who was applying for a job with us. This was many years ago, in my Washington days. I called, and he took the call. We had a very nice chat. He had a maturity beyond his years and was very gracious. I knew of no other cases of a congressperson giving a reference, and I interviewed hundreds of applicants. I think he really cared about people and I, too, admired him. I am saddened by his passing.

Or caring for yourself once home after an out patient surgery. I am very grateful to have Keith to feed me & help other ways.

Back from a super productive lunch - I surprised even myself with how cohesive my thoughts were. I can still think, so that's a good sign!

Listening to music. After the marathon two-hour lunch session, I'm not writing anything until later tonight.

The food was quite mediocre - penne in a pink sauce (just a dash of cream, said they) - it was like pasta in soup. And only about five ounces, so it really could not have been all that caloric.

I'm through the calypso and on to "Home For the Holidays." God, it's long.
