The day is almost done here, but still just awakening elsewhere – so I pass on my good will to all.
My own day didn’t go quite to plan when, at about 7 last night, my son rushed me to hospital.
The experience, as usual, has not been without its laughs.
Upon admitting me the nurse looked up at my son prior to jabbing a few needles in my bum and asking a few personal questions. He’s an ex professional sportsman and, with a massive frame (and beard) and a baseball cap looks a bit threatening. He doesn’t look a whole lot like me.
“Are you related to the patient?” she asked as she pulled down the back of my shorts.
“No,” he replied, dead-pan, “I’m just the Uber driver that brought him in.”
A little later in the evening, when things had gone down hill somewhat and I had changed colour dramatically and was writhing around on the bed mouthing obscenities, he took a photograph of me which he entitled ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Very Old Man’.
I elected not to include the photograph in this post.

Oh goodness, I see your son has the same sense of humor you do! So sorry you’re in the hospital and I’m glad your son looks intimidating. Maybe that will keep them on their toes. So besides green and red jello cups, what other Christmas delights are you experiencing? Take care of yourself and Get well!

An interesting idea. Rushing is a fair way from my mind just yet

oh my dear man. what a difficult way to spend Christmas, and I do hope you’re behaving yourself there…I’ve been through a couple of ‘let’s get you to the emergency room’ things myself, and it’s both restful and unsettling to find oneself being taken over by people half your age .
Do get well quickly (and your son sounds like a good man to have handy in an emergency)…

Ha ha! Thank you. Alas, I am behaving myself. But you are right – it does nothing to make you feel youthful.

No. You were right the first time. I just wanted sympathy and attention. But I’ve had my fill. Can someone please help me escape?

There is no way I’ll ”like” this… But I sure hope there is nothing life threatening in the events that got you to the hospital. Get well soon, good Sir, and let me know if you’d accept to meet with me and Chéri when we’ll be in Oz in February. (I won’t mind if you prefer not to)

I will survive and likely still be drawing breath in February
