monday, april 22

Well, it seems to be just a month ago that I fell on my fanny and broke the hip.........glad that month is over.
I am finally begining to feel better....think I have the pneumonia licked and as long as I can breathe, anything seems possible.

Took my electric chair for a test run around the living room.....I give it it's maiden voyage down the ramp in about an hour on my way to the doctor..........I have visions of being catapulted into the magnolia bushes when I hit the bottom, but I am hoping for the best.

Have no doubt I will be a   menace to the neighborhood in no time.

More later.

sunday april 18

Hi, all

just a quick line to let you know that I am doing better and have hope for the future once again.

Urk, aaaarrrrgggghhh,  ugh and Oy vey.............this invalid scene is not my forte but I have had marvelous help from many sources and am sooooo grateful I will surely disgust you with my treacly utterances.

Sorry if I have caused you worry.....hope the worst is over now.

more later.

love, herself

monday april 12

hello all........still here and making a bit of progress...........feel like I have just returned from the moon....very strange indeed.........could it be the drugs??????   or was I really on the moon?

anyway, am home and doing a bit better each day.    will keep you posted.

Luv you all.

sunday

finally got home and doing OK mostly..My angel cousin, Jen  yes, granddaughter of the famous Aunt Jennie
is with me and caring for me..she came down from Portland to be my salvation.  The cats finally decided to allow me to stay...........

I only know one thing....hospitals are no place for sick people.

more later.

friday 4/9

damn, damn, damn.........or should I just go for it and say, "shit, piss, fuck.

Hit a glitch and it looks like I will be incarcerated for another day.  A spot of atrial fibrulation.......(sp>)
Still hoping to go home tomorrow.  (don't care much if I live or die but I want to do it at home !)

my hip is doing OK.......as soon as they fix the cardiac tango I will be better.

Don't give up on me.    More later.

Tuesday 2 am

Just woke up after a decent 4 hour snooze and am too awake to fall back to sleep without greeting all you remarkable folks..,......wit and brilliance did not waken with me......sorry about that.......but if you can tolerate a few lines from Dullsville this will at least reassure you that the spark of life still flickers fitfully.

I am in that childish pastime of counting the  days,,,,,,just a few more till Friday and the prospect of  getting home to my kitties and hummers.........oh, joy!   Meanwhile I patiently await the harbinger of the new day here.......the cheerful lady who arrives around 6 am with the off-putting pronouncement, "I am here to take your blood.".........of course they already have most of it.......I can only hope they will leave a few drops in case I should meet some needy Vampire on the way back to North Hollywood.

This is all you get for now........I will check back in later........just want to thank all you dear souls for hanging in with me through it all.   Love you madly.

She Is Not Dead..........She Is Just Away.........

I have always hated that euphemism or whatever the hell they call that..........of course she  is dead........when she begged them to shoot her last Tuesday they took her at her word.........consequently this blog will be continued by some imposter or other and hopefully you will not even notice the difference.....they do amazing things with these androids.,,.,.,.

This body is now inhabited by said imposter, a bunch of titanium hardware or spare computer parts and a monumental case of the dreaded malady, The Enormous Hospital Bloat.   Just managed to get my laptop working again and have regained sufficient spirit to give a good goddam........and  I ........WTF where did the italics come from//???........never mind.....small details are insignificant.........just want to thank all you dear souls for your good wishes and kind thoughts.

I, or a reasonable facsimile, will be going home to my beloved house and kitties next Friday......God willing having survived not only my self destruction but the best reconstructive efforts of the local ironmongers union.

Meanwhile they continue to torture me unmercifully with this thing called Physical Therapy.........but much more about that later.  

This has been a fascinating interlude.....a strange sort of vacation  at an all-inclusive resort called Camp Hertzalot..............if it is all the same to you, next time I think I will  opt for the cruise and tour of Cannibal Island during which we are given the opportunity to be boiled in oil along with a few tasty Missionaries.

My best love to you all and the kindest thing I can offer is to say," Glad you are NOT here".
