In the event… well you know, if I didn’t rise like a phoenix from the table, didn’t want to share with the world, that awaiting me on the 28th was a date with an incredible man. Didn’t want you all to get the wrong idea. This incredible man, head of the orthopedic department of Mt Sinai Queens and I had a pre-arranged date, not our first meeting, to have him rearrange the internal furniture on my left hip. Although I shed 10 pounds to make his job more effective, he added two pounds back in hardware. The outer software took a bruising, but so far so good. I am now home again. And it was an adventure! Not without it’s moments of excitement, and totally ‘umbrellad’ in the love and care of so many of you in such surprising ways. But enough about me. Back to the City. It is cold and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Christmas is already in some of the stores. But as so often, the sun is shinning, there is a slight breeze and this is a wonderful place to be living.
