The Visit


A good way to appreciate one's health is to visit a friend in the hospital on a beautiful summer's day. It was two months ago that he was doubled over with pain in the middle of the night and ended up in emergency at the local hospital. With the exception of four or five days, he has been in a hospital bed for the whole time. It is a story of inefficiency and dropped balls. It is a wonder anybody ever gets out of there alive.
In three more days, he will go home, but this will be for the third time. He is nervous. If indeed the problem has been found and corrected, the prognosis is good. But, he heard that the other two times also. Stay healthy, dear reader.
