People I have Known

She has been silent.  i hve no idea why, perhaps she is too busy.  Perhaps?

I know I am going to be busier than a one handed paper hanger the next few weeks. Carol goes into urgery on Tuesday, next week.  I have done this before.  I will have to try to be available for all of the things she will need, and pray that the surgery is successful.  The last few times, things did not go so well.  This was a long list of things which went wrong.  I pray noting untoward happens.

I have found that in times when I need to collect my thoughts, I am too pulled up into the matter at hand to be able to do that.  Sort of like the joke; it is difficult to think about draining the swamp when you are up to your neck in alligators.  The worst part of this, is that I will be by my lonesome.  During her last hospital stay, I was not consulted or told what was going on.  I realized she was not well, but I had no idea how serious the situation was.  I just hope things go better this time. 

Shawnee Mission Hospital is not noted for their food.  I might complain about many things with Providence Hospital, but their food is not one of them. Providence has good food.  Whereas S. M.

does not.  I think back to my Mom and what she did for me when I was in the hospital.  It was just she, and me.  She was the brave soldier who came every day.  I don't know if she ate or not.  I was just a kid, I did not think of her troubles.  I stayed weeks on end.  And, it was  no vacation for either of us.  Today, the idea is to get in and to get out as quickly as possible.  I am only wondering how long she will have to spend in recouping.

Tom, my Brother-in-Law, goes under the knife today.  Probably already is.  I can imagine what Sis is going through.  I have put off surgery.  I hve a hernia, which should be repaired, but I keep putting it off.  It really does not bother me.

Well, I will have to get breakfast.  I am not going to cook.  I don't know what I will get, but I will try to get something good.  speaking of food, last night, we ate at Memi's restaurant.  I know what I am going to have tonight.  I might share with Carol.  The food was good, but man was it expensive.
