     Another friend arrives Wednesday morning with chocolate sweets and the willingness to converse together. We talk about our lives, homeless women, and writing.  Probably other topics that I can’t remember in this moment.

     Wake up this morning with an unexpected sore hip. I am walking slowly with my walker. Take two Tylenol. Of course, I wonder if this is just a pulled muscle or has the cancer spread.

     Last night I start watching a new netflix series, ROYAL PAINS, a doctor story that is supposedly funny.  No that’s not quite it.  I just watched the pilot episode so I don’t know yet if I like it or not.

    75 year old Dr. Bob from Minnesota is featured on the front page of the New York Times. Inside the paper is a long report about treating his elderly patients. I wish he was one of my doctors. He reminds us that our bodies do fall apart, this is just how we are.
