I confess, I am irritable most of Saturday. Many things annoy me, the cold overcast day, the food I am eating and the messy house. I should be pleased as I am getting healthier. Even with good news the upcoming difficult treatments loom over me.  I don’t have anything to kick around. It is difficult to remember that everything changes and the future is unknown.

I don’t have an opinion about the continuation of the British royal family. I do read about the struggles of Megan and Harry’s lives.

A wonderful friend comes to my house to watch a movie together.  We try several shows before settling on EMERGENCY NYC.  For years I have watched TV by myself. I am losing the ability to watch with others.

New book I am reading, THE PEOPLE’S HOSPITAL, HOPE AND PERIL IN AMERICAN MEDICINE, by Ricardo Nuila, MD. The author reports on a hospital in Dallas Texas. These books of our damaged medical system are so sad and yet I feel compelled to look fearlessly at what is happening to us.
