I never thought that I would be so happy to make my fingers ache at the keyboard, but after my recent trip to Ca., I will probably type until I drop. I was in Santa Cruz when the quake hit and got a broken leg and a slight concussion and have been in hospital for longer than I care to be. Having travelled much of my life and had my own way, it was very difficult to be 'tied' to the bed for such a long time. I remember {hazily} the rescue squad coming in and dragging Sherry and me out of the building {after covering us with blankets} through the window. I must have been in shock or something because it struck me as hilarious that we were on the first floor. {Before the quake, we were on the third floor.} Sherry fared better than I, only getting minor contusions, and visited me daily. I suppose we can make rude and offensive comments about it now, but it was quite scary for the first week. I hate being out of communications with people and apologize for not having Sherry pass along a message, but I refuse to share my access codes with anyone. Also, Sherry leaves a lot to be desired in the typing department; her talents lie elsewhere. I have had a LOT of time to remember some of the significant events in my life and will start writing them down as soon as I wade through the month or so of unfinished business. Hopefully, my hospital experience will tide you over until I can upload something more interesting. |
