THE WONDERING JEW

Home Events

Heather's oldest living brother, the one who is diabetic, wearing a pacemaker and toting an oxygen bottle, who lost his wife of near sixty years, got sick today and Heather couldn't get over there in time. His neighbor lady took him to hospital.

Heather spent a good part of the afternoon and some of the evening calling until she got hold of one of his kids, they told her that the son in Denver will go to hospital. Both of us are ailing today and not too ambulant or we would have been to the hospital to see him. So far we have heard nothing about him, no call to clue us in on his condition or anything. That hurts Heather.

I guess it is well not to ask an elderly person how they are doing, they might get an answer in full. Most of us sooner or later face things like this or much worse.

I have deep sixed three entries already through clumsiness tonight. This is the fourth, each one getting shorter. From this side of the counter that is Home Events . . . . . . .
