Goodness gracious, what a weekend. Thursday my dad was called by the hospital and told he couldn't go see my mother because the unit was shut to visitors due to a Norwalk outbreak. Norwalk is a very powerful gastrointestinal virus with a short half-life. It can kill weak people. Violent hurling and dumping sessions are the symptoms. Nasty. Anyway, my dad had visited my mom the night before and had kissed good- night, as I had a couple of hours later. Friday LifeLine called that there had been a trigger at my dad's house, so Angela and I went over there and you won't believe what we walked in on... what a mess. He was barely breathing, so 911 brought us an ambulance. Then for the clean-up, Ang & I were gloved and all that but, some airborne got to us. (Btw, I refer to her as Ang as SWMBO, wife and SO all seem so impersonal.) Saturday morning we decided Ang got the upstairs bathrooms, and I got the 'Bog' in the basement. I would have gladly paid somebody to shoot me on a few occasions. We're all over the hump now and feeling much better, but I missed a performance by Tafelmusiek, that really pissed me off.
PS, I lost 7.5 pounds in 2 days. Now I need to replenish..lemme see here a Filet Mignon, bottle of Drambuie, a whole New York cheese-cake?
Naaaa...
