Random Status Update: ---The old lady in the bed next to Moms was a thief. My sister-in-law brought Mom a get well card last night. This afternoon the other ladys phone was ringing. When my sister-in-law went over to assist the woman in answering her call she discovered Moms get well card on her tray. She stole it back when the woman wasnt looking. ---Narrowly missed vehicular disaster today when two flagmen sent differing signals as to which lane I should steer into on a stretch of roadwork. Instantly I became even more impressed with state and local government hiring and training policies. Imagine my joy as I cautiously surveyed oncoming traffic which wasnt properly regulated due to confused flagmen and the traffic signal being out of sync due to botched instructions. Ah, bullshit! ---The hospital does nothing positive for my mood. Already quietly stressed out due to the obvious the environment I entered brims with reminders of mortality. One woman screamed in constant pain as her lifes end draws nearer. There is the odor of old sweat which reminds us of other kinds of suffering or discomfort. Having lost six people in the past 13 months (relatives and close friends) I cannot escape thoughts of death and just as quickly push them away as painful memories of loss rush at me. If theres such a thing as PTSD for too much domestic death in ones personal circle I have it. ---The clocks hands do move slower when waiting for the surgeon to arrive or return with news for you and/or about your loved ones. I continued reading SALINGER, getting to the part where hes about to become incredibly famous. ---I am missing my close friends. None of you have called me. You have no idea what a lift it would be for me to hear a friendly voice. (But not tonight)
