another harrowing day at the hospital<\/span><\/strong>
the VOD has been in there since Tuesday<\/span><\/strong>
however she is really very much better<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
I had to be there at 8 AM to meet up<\/span><\/strong>
with the on call Dr that’s been caring for her<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
I got down on my knees and begged<\/span><\/strong>
and now the Dr has accepted the VOD <\/span><\/strong>
as a patient<\/span><\/strong>
will wonders never cease?<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
today they tried her on nitro<\/span><\/strong>
it caused a major headache<\/span><\/strong>
it also caused all her bruises <\/span><\/strong>
to swell up like golf balls<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
so I’m looking at her thumb <\/span><\/strong>
and it looks like someone glued<\/span><\/strong>
an angry purple golfball to it<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
then I am brushing her hair and discover<\/span><\/strong>
another angry purple golf ball<\/span><\/strong>
on the crown of her head….<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
so I says to her…”how long’s this been here”<\/span><\/strong>
she says “since Friday night”<\/span><\/strong>
I says “what happened Friday night?”<\/span><\/strong>
she says “I fell and hit my head on the coffee table”<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
jayzuz!<\/span><\/strong>
no wonder her wits have been scrambled!<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
they’ll be doing an angiogram on her early this week<\/span><\/strong>
and then she should be “good to go”<\/span><\/strong>
just in time to go to the bother’s house<\/span><\/strong>
so I can go on holidays….<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
I left there around 7:30PM<\/span><\/strong>
and I decided I needed supper<\/span><\/strong>
so I stopped at a local pub<\/span><\/strong>
and was having a wee arguement<\/span><\/strong>
with myself <\/span><\/strong>
over the cost of a steak <\/span><\/strong>
vs <\/span><\/strong>
going home and cooking one<\/span><\/strong>
as tired as I am<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
anyway…I’m sitting in the pub<\/span><\/strong>
minding my own business<\/span><\/strong>
and reading a book<\/span><\/strong>
and my phone rings<\/span><\/strong>
I look at the number<\/span><\/strong>
and it’s a BC number<\/span><\/strong>
but one I’ve never seen before<\/span><\/strong>
so I almost don’t answer it….<\/span><\/strong>
then I think to myself <\/span><\/strong>
that maybe it’s someone from the hospital<\/span><\/strong>
so I anwer and this crackling voice says<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“here, in the People’s Republic of China <\/span><\/strong>
it is already July 28th…so….<\/span><\/strong>
Happy Birthday!”<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
it’s the blister from Beijing!<\/span><\/strong>
she says – “have the steak dammit!<\/span><\/strong>
she also hasn’t tried the dim sum yet <\/span><\/strong>
but city food is good and cheap. <\/span><\/strong>
Outside the city there is a real chance <\/span><\/strong>
of finding some sort of claw in your soup <\/span><\/strong>
so God Bless Ritz crackers.
It is tomorrow here <\/span><\/strong>
so I am trying to find out 649 numbers for you.
My assignment during these Olympics<\/span><\/strong>
is Opening\/Closing ceremonies <\/span><\/strong>
and Track and Field.<\/p>\n

Heat=stifling
Pollution=suffocating
People=great hosts<\/p>\n

Did the Great Wall yesterday<\/span><\/strong>
then the Great Walmart for some beer. <\/span><\/strong>
Having trouble finding the communism <\/span><\/strong>
under all the Coca-Cola signs <\/span><\/strong>
but I’m sure it’s here.”<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
how cool is that?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
