rescheduling news

 
There's been a fair amount of schedule-juggling to be done -- because my NEW, IMPROVED, BUY ONE GET ONE FREE double operation requires the presence of a vascular surgeon to do the work on my neck arteries as well as the heart surgeon to do the bypasses -- but at last a date has been fixed.

Monday, June 2.

Ulp.

Monday somehow seems very much closer than it did a few minutes ago.

No chasing the nurses, you hear?

"No chasing the nurses, you hear?"

Oh, the medics encourage it, I'm told! Anything to get me out of my bed and mobile, they said.

A few hours after one of You Know Who's life-threatening operations at Stoke Mandeville, she managed to make her way somehow as far as the smoking room for a ciggie. The docs couldn't believe it. As one of them remarked, "It's the first time I've ever known cigarettes to have definite therapeutic benefits."

As the very wise Woody Allen tells us in his excellent documentary Sleeper.
