Tuesday evening
Hi,
Well it's 7:10 pm. Brian & Paul left to see Leenie (& bring her her favorite chocolate shake from the DQ near the hospital) @ around 5 pm. They said they would call if there were any significant medical info. They have not.
Leenie, as is her wont these days, will be overjoyed to see them, exhaust herself chatting and then want to read. And read. And read (you get the picture) The sun room at our house is now her library, supported on the large table by old cannon bookends (as in, "touch these books and feel some gun powder). She also loves to watch movies (an adjacent library) and lose herself in "the other".
Now her brother Philip is really a more interesting story (while we're on literature) , of the not-quite-superhero variety. He worked days yesterday & called around 5 from the Norfolk airport. (I only got his message as we were a tad busy w/ Leenie @ the time) Seems his cell phone wasn't working; he would be leaving for Miniapolis for a deposition shortly and getting in too late to call with his hotel info & phone contact for Tuesday am; he 's to return home this evening around "dinner time". As I said at the opening of this tripe, it is 7:10 pm. Sooo, our dear and glorious physician has no idea that Leenie went in to the hospital yesterday; apparently has difficulty locating/using public/hotel phones and will be missing "dinner time" @ Linbay (and I worked so hard to make it special). I thought we'd go together to see Leenie but it appears the hour will be past several bed times.
We can rest easy knowing Leenie is in good company w/ yummy DQ and nothing urgent to report. As for me, here we go with photo aggravation. . .

Obviously, important updates will take precedence - anyone heard from PGJr? - I'll conclude that saga "of human bandage" as it unfolds. . .)

Hi,
Phillip got off @ 7 am - Bless Brian. We've been re-grouping, physically & mentally. Have not heard from Leenie but I'm sure they are keeping her busy & getting her on just the right mix of meds & oral food & liquids.
I know she needs some paperwork for the social worker who will be applying for her Medicare disability. This lady also has the Medicaid forms for Ohio. Paul has just arrived so we will see if Leenie wants to deal with this today and, if so, bring the data.
It will be good to have 2 cars so that everyone can set their own schedule and pace with Leenie's preferences.
Last night I tried to send some good photos & failed miserably. I'm trying (very) again. . .
