A note from the writer

Oh, dear! I think I'd better clarify and/or quosh a rumor: my husband IS in St. Elizabeth's Hospital but he is NOT at Death's Door!

The reason for his admittance was an insulin overdose that occurred on Wednesday evening. That condition has, of course, been corrected, but in the process of having all manner of tests performed, it was discovered that his oxygen level is low and now the search for a cause for that condition is ongoing.

He did NOT have a heart attack or stroke or fall. He's in no pain and is being kept busy being wheeled to this testing room and that and by visits from an astounding number of physicians, teams of eager students and a parade of "pretty little girls" from Physical Therapy.

I can't praise our Ambulance Corps and Fire Department emergency personnel enough! Both Dick and I thank them and everyone who has written or phoned with Get Well wishes and offers of help!

As so many others have said, "There's something about a small town that you just can't beat!"
