In Wait Mode

Hello All,

Nothing of great significance happened that was visible to us today. Last week I made two trips to the hospital interspersed with a little nap at the apartment between but have given that up as actually being more tiring. For the past two days I take off after a leisurely breakfast, with a NY Times (have now stopped delivery in Glen Head), having had a satisfying breakfast, and head for darling Bernice a little after 10:00. Harvey was there at my arrival having commuted in from New Haven. Bernice reported that her night was reasonable by hospital standards with only a few interruptions. She is eating more and sits in a comfortable chair reading and enjoying her view. Her blood values continue to improve and stabilize. The attending doctor and fellow came around and reported that the neurosurgeons are discussing the case and are somewhat hampered because they have not received the CT can images from Glen Cove.

I got on the phone with our son Dave and discussed this problem. He went to Glen Cove hospital and visited the medical records department and really got things going. Faxes went back and forth with Bernice having signed release forms. Dave arranged for a FEDEX package containing the scan CDs to arrive at the right department at Mt Sinai early on Wednesday morning. We will see what the morrow brings. The CT scans are from July 23, the fateful day of the fall, and the two succeeding days.

It is an early night for me. I am going to read and listen to some Brahms.

I bid everyone a peaceful night and a bright morning,
love, Merwin
