YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LAST PREVIOUS BLOG ENTRY (SINCE DELETED) WAS FROM FEBRUARY. NOW IT'S AUGUST.
WHAT HAPPENED? JUST A BRIEF REPORT HERE: IT'S BEEN ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER ON THE HEALTH FRONT.
THE THREE BIG INCIDENTS: GERRY WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH DOUBLE PNEUMONIA AND COMPLICATIONS, THEN HE'D BARELY GOTTEN HOME AND MOSTLY RECOVERED WHEN HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTI-MYELOMA AND STARTED A YEAR-LONG THERAPY, WHICH IS NOW ENTERING ITS THIRD MONTH. SO FAR, SO GOOD. BUT TWO MONTHS AGO OUR 92-YEAR-OLD HOUSEMATE WILLIE FELL AND BROKE HER HIP. AFTER HIP-REPLACEMENT SURGERY, SHE'S HOME AND DOING REHAB. WE JOKE THAT OUR HOME IS "REHAB CITY."
ON THE AMUSING SIDE, A WILD HEN TURKEY HAS ADOPTED US AND SHOWS UP TO BE FED TWICE A DAY.
