another day

I'm scared that the note-book will shut down anytime but will go ahead as planned.
Have just been tested for blood sugar and it was 3.8 which is danger level and had to quickly get some juice into me because the nurse took long to get head-nurse permission to give me glucose. Am good now although they left my supper tray at the desk and a young man happened to find and bring it here. Said the kitchen staff didn't want to walk all the way down the corridor. That wasn't true but it is funny it's always me they have trouble getting to.

What a wonderful day for visitors. Thank you for coming. Looking at your faces from the bed, you all look so glowing and lovely - like new actors coming on stage in a play, so healthy and full of life.
Laura, your smile is always there for us and so kind to take the time to come.
Barbara M. tells me she's fixed my head - meaning that she has adjusted a scratch on the clay bust she's made of me!
Joy went back to the apartment and brought my address book and some of my books I wrote so I can give them away to some of the staff. She usually brings a banana which is so handy in between meals.
Mark left for home after getting me a bed tray to handle the notebook, He did so much.
Kim came and gave me a feeling of steadiness.
Pat and Pauline came back from Seattle and enjoyed Pikes market and the dinner in the revolving restaurant on top of the needle and Pauline had her name printed in characters such as butterflies and flowers - each symbol meaning the letters in her name. A lovely souvenier.

I was showered by an expert showerer. Even washed my hair and it felt good.
When I got up this morning, I with feeling as if I would faint. It wasn't nice.

Doctor Bhatt came and confirmed all my wishes were the same as those of Dr.Kim (The internist) and altered the note that said I did not want to have transfusions. Don't know how that got on the records. They will take blood test twice a week and give transfusions as necessary.

My daughter came and is my power of attorney so she will be busy with bank etc. But gradually we will get the necessary items in order. She is good at organising.

Went for escorted walk down the hall so called in to see Marcel's wife Margaret-Mary. They lived down the hall from me.
