Five years ago today we had dinner at Factor's with DR Jeanne and Bruce

[Jane]

I was allowed to be in the ICU from 12 to 6

I often stayed that long with my father when he was in ICU.  Of course that was before covid.  I'm glad you had a nice long visit.

[Jane]

The camera doctor came in and said that the camera didn’t make it all the way to the end of its journey  before the battery died

 

Of all the possible issues I read about the camera that was not one of them.

[Jane]

Usually the patient is encouraged to walk about to aid in the cameras movement but that hadn’t been possible since Vixdad was still so unsteady so we had an incomplete picture

That must be frustrating.

[Jane]

The bleeding seems to have stopped though, his vitals were good, blood pressure in the normal range, his color and strength were returning and he finally was given real food to eat

Excellent.

[Jane]

He even took a couple of laps around the ward, using a walker, with a nurse and me along as spotters

It is wonderful he is up and moving.

[Jane]

Once he was all set up and comfortable the house doctor came in and went over all his vitals etc and said if everything continued looking good that Vixdad may be released today

Wow, that is fast.

[Jane]

I may give a call to my good neighbor, Mike , to see if he would be kind enough to drive me to the hospital because Vixdad’s car is still sitting in the parking lot there and I certainly don’t think he should be driving himself home

Good idea.

[Jane]

Thank you all for the vibes and prayers and support, it means a lot

I am thankful he is on the mend.

Also nice.

And given what the word was, we both know where our minds are.

Now I need to ask Keith what the word is.

The power did, indeed, go out last night, but my portable HALO generator worked very well.  I only used it for the CPAP as it wasn't particularly warm last night.

I did wake up once and figured it was all the quiet.  I recall the power being restored about 3:12 a.m. or so.  My fan came on and I pulled a cover over me.

I feel refreshed, but a big sluggish mentally. 

The generator ran my CPAP for 8 hours or so.  When I unplugged the CPAP to put it back into a wall outlet, my generator still had 40% of its power.  It served its purpose well, but won't handle more than a CPAP, I reckon.

At least it handled your CPAP, however, including your refrigerator would be good.

[Jane]

My goodness. We have all been together on this site so long that we have become old people together.

LOL, yup. 

[Jane]

Thanks to all for the vibes.....I am feeling a bit queasy this morning for some reason....and my left wrist is very sore....but all in all - not bad.  I shall not complain.

Pain, and pain meds can make you queasy.  Pain be gone vibes!

From TCB:

Why would they want to give a perk to the employees?  They have a captive customer base, they can charge as much as they please.

A perk from the company to the employees.

[Jane]

DR TCB I am sorry your pain is worst.

I also read Tom Stoppard's translation of The Seagull which I enjoyed very much.

My friend Caroline - the director of OLIVER! - is going to direct it next spring at DePauw and intimates that she would like me to be in it.....I would guess that the only role for me is Sorin - the old crab....but it would certainly be interesting.

I have NEVER EVER appeared in, directed, or done tech for a play by Chekov.

The Seagull is my favorite Chekhov play. Is it Sorin who tells the doctor that Konsantin is dead in the last act or does the doctor tell Sorin? I forget. I would love to see that DePauw production if you're in it.

[Jane]

It is a beautiful Sunday, yet I am instead messaging with multiple people

[KevinH]

Vibes for Jrand71.

Vibes for TCB

Great Wordle scores, DRs vixmom and JohnG!    Mine was 5/6 today.

[singdaw]

I investigated the Sock Slider. I am impressed.

[singdaw]

I have never heard of Yanks, but the score sounds interesting.

[elmore3003]

I investigated the Sock Slider. I am impressed.

I love it. I believe it was DR Jrand71 who advised me about their assets.

Up from a nap.

[John G.]

Finishing up a book called A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading and Life. It’s about short stories by Chekov, Turgenev, Tolstoy and Gogol. Surprisingly nimble, given the overlong and pedantic title, and fascinating.

[John G.]

But you can also understand why I slept.

Let’s get off this page.
