After 8 days of very good care and service at Ak Hospital, it seemed a pity that they went and shot themselves in the proverbial foot taking a good 5 and a half hours to discharge me today.
A test of patients (as is the rocky road currently outside the Hospital - must be part of the triage process 0 if you can survive Grafton Rd you probly don't need hospital!)
Back home today - what a relief to crawl info my own bed again...the house decorated either for my homecoming or leftovers from Sophie's party (possibly both).
So come over any time now - call first is probly best idea.
I won't be heading out anywhere in a hurry...
There are many things I am looking forward to doing now that I'm home, but engaging with the delights of solid motion post-bowel op is not one of them!
Love,
Gerald.

Hoorah you are home to your own bed! Great news. Just in time for a Guiness today ... or not, perhaps! See you soon I am sure. xxx
ReplyDeleteGerald,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it back to you own bed. I don't think the guy that invented the modern day bed realized how much a person looks forward to a good crash in their own sandbox.
Alas, on to more important items. Because you now have a few spare minutes to burn, let me be the first in line with a homework assignment. I need the name of some smooth jazz artists and some good classical music. Top shelf stuff; not the clearance items for a $1.99 at Walmart. Something to burn a little end of day tension while sharing a quiet moment with our good friend Merlot. It may require deep thought, but as they say, the mind is a terrible thing to waste (unless you're a US politician, in which case it doesn't matter).
Thanks,
Wayne & Margaret
Gerald, Im so glad your home. Your blogs are terrific, im reading them daily to see whats going on. internet is a powerful medium of communication! Was standing at the kitchen sink praying my guts out for peace and strength for you and your family last night....bless you. students have been asking bout you....
ReplyDeletedear Monica, just like the Guiness, I'm not bitter...
ReplyDeleteWayne and Margaret (which one posted the comment? nearly as confusing as Gerald and Lois eh?) - silky jazz = chet baker, cool jazz = miles davis (kinda blue and birth of the cool both highly recommended), contemporary cutting edge cool = jan garbarek (in praise of dreams, which features jazz viola on it!, or "officium" a much more static sound - try one of these and get back to me ....)
charlie - is this holly? - thanks for the prayers...any time you feel like it, i am grateful!
