Sorry to be slow responding to your kind query, Ish.
I'm still underwater, frankly. This business with my teeth has affected my general health (probably because I haven't eaten for months), and I can barely drag myself around.
I got a call Saturday, from a niece, telling me my brother Len is in the hospital, in the intensive care unit, after undergoing a major operation to remove an intestinal blood clot -- and more than half his small intestine along with it. His whole immediate family (wife, kids & spouses, couple of grandkids) is camped out right there in the ICU waiting room. I adore my brother, and normally I would have just hopped in the car and driven up there (New York state, Woodstock area) to join them. But there is no way I could handle a six-hour drive at this point. THAT is the sort of thing that exasperates me -- being too feeble to do things I want/ought to do!!!
