Home at Last

Dear Faithful Bloggers,

You can mark down September 8th as the day Bernice returned home after more than three weeks at Mt. Sinai hospital. She has been gaining in strength daily and, when they finally came at the end of the day, the Rehab doctor judged that Bernice would be better off at home. Actually, with Bernice's strong feelings that she wanted to go home, we had decided the matter early in the day. We consulted with the social service person and made the initial arrangements for home care. At 9:00 in the morning a nurse from the Visiting Nurse Service will be here to do an evaluation and more will get settled.

Dave drove in and Bernice happily sat in her car and enjoyed the trip home. She is now in our new hospital bed which has displaced our big bed in the master bedroom which is now in the adjacent sitting room. That is where I will be sleeping — within a little more than whispering distance.

Happy New year to all; L' Shana Tova

love, Merwin
