Surgery successful!













The photo on the left shows Harvey staring lovingly at Lincoln, his little brother, while the cousins, Eve and Jon, look on. On the fight, Lincoln has shown his brother Dave how to get up the big willow tree, into the tree house that the older brothers and Merwin had built, I think.

Dear friends and family,

Dave took care of Lincoln all day—took him to the hospital at 4:30 a.m. Drove him to the pharmacy and finally here. Lincoln had driven here the night before so his car will be available when he feels ready to drive home. Dave got the doctor's report after surgery: about 10 words: piece of cake, went perfectly. Turns out Lincoln needed only one side repaired because it wasn't an inherent weakness but something he did probably while heavy lifting as an EMT at the Smithtown fire department.

He seems pretty good, walking, a little bent over, some pain, some concerns, but much better than I remember Merwin feeling.

Anyway, I can't really stay here at the computer till I see what he needs for breakfast, so I'll continue tomorrow.

Love to all,
Bernice
