Hospital Life
Nov/12/2005 21:08
I was in Charleston this past weekend to help
Lynda recover from surgery after her ovarian
cancer crept back after 3 years of remission. I
spent a lot of time sitting in the hospital room
meeting the parade of doctors and nurses and
watching them poke and prod Lynda. I kept hoping
it would be more like an episode of Grey's
Anatomy, you know pretty doctors saving patients
while engaging in outrageous activities like
flirting, affairs, drunken confessions, getting
pregnant and spreading syphilis. Well all the
caretakers were professional and there was one
pretty doctor and a couple of pretty nurses but
we did not get to see any behind-the-scenes
shenanigans.
When I was not at the hospital I was putting in some work hours at Lynda's house. It was actually pleasant sitting looking out her back door at the birds and turtles. Willow the cat kept me entertained by trying to be the lion of her backyard although she mostly chased bugs. Graeme and I watched TV together but he was working on a school project so we did not have time to do much else. Here are some pictures from my trip.
