A SICK FELLOW


 Darling is a sick man.  In ICU at Medical City. Pneumonia.  They drained his lung once with a needle and the fluid came back in 24 hours.  They put a tube in his lung but nothing drained out.  Too much scar tissue.  They will do surgery to drain fluid.  He is on a ventilator and sedated.  Trying to schedule between surgeon and operating room.  It is my understanding that the longer it takes before he starts getting better, the longer it will take to get better.  Does that make sense? 

Written earlier for the blog:


Hypotenuse - We were talking about going to Stevenville and what towns were near-by and he thought that was the long way around.  I replied, Oh no, we went across on the hypotenuse.  (An old family joke.)  He said "Mmmmmmm,  hypotenuse - the sum of the square root of the other two sides."  Whaaaat?  Even if it is true, how on earth did he remember it?  Also, how could he remember where these towns were and that it was the long way around?  He can't even remember if he ate breakfast or not.
