I'VE JUST SPENT AN HOUR TRYING TO ENTER SALUTATIONS. YOU ARE ALL GOOD SPORTS IN YOUR EFFORTS TO DECIPHER THIS NEW FANGLED METHOD I'M ATTEMPTING TO USE. MY MEDICAL ORIGINATES IN A UNIVERSITY CLINIC WHICH IS DOWNTOWN. OTHER HOSPITALS ARE CLOSER TO HOME. BECAUSE I THOUGHT SO MUCH OF MY INTERNIST, I TOOK THE MORE EXPENSIVE ROUTE. FUNNY THING, FROM ARRIVAL THR OUGH SURGERY EVEN THOUGH HE HAD ROUNDS HE NEVER APPEARED . ROB, MY DAUGHTER AND CAREGIVER, WAS THERE EVERY MORNING AT 5:30. SHE EXHAUSTED HERSELF MY NEXT JOY RIDE WAS TO THE REHAB CENTER. I CALL IT THE FUNNY FARM. EVEERYTIME THEY NEEDED A ROOM, I WAS MOVED. FIRST TO SIT ALL NIGHT WITH A WOMAN WHOSE FAMILY DROPPED HER THERE 2 YEARS BEFORE. NO WAY DID SHE COOPERATE . THE SECOND WAS TO DOUBLE UP WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS TO BE DISCHARGED AS SOON AS SHE COULD GET A RIDE HOME. THE THIRD WAS TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOMEPME WHO HAD CANCER. AT THE END CAME A WOMAN AND HEE HUSBAND WHO WERE HELD IN HIGH SUSPICIAN. THERE WAS NO INSURANCE INVOLVED. THERE WAS A STORY OF THEIR ABILITY TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. WHEN MY CLOTHES BEGAN TO DISAPPEAR ( SHE COULD HAVE HAD SOME OF THEM HAD SHE ASKED). THEY WOULD APPEAR ON THE CHAIR NEXT TO MY BED AT BEDTIME. BY THE TIME I LEFT SHE SHARED WHAT I DID HAVE. THIS ABOOOUT DOES IT FOR TONIGHT. 5 WILL CONTINUE AS SOON AS I CAN SEE AND GROPE LESS.
