Helloz All

Something tells me that this Blog is getting to be too formal….. there is just no informality. All my readers sign in as anonymous and I do not know how to address you. But it must be appreciated that we all belong to this rather unique blog, I therefore. propose that henceforth I address all readers as Yen-ites. Towards this end I seek your views ….don’t want to unnecessarily ruffle any feathers….. esp so as we all flock together on this blog.

Update on the sis front. She’s showing adequate improvement and recovery. Walked couple of steps and is now allowed to consume semi-solids. The hospital bed she found to be too high and thus difficult to climb up/down (equivalent to climbing Mt Everest in her state and she definitely is no Tenzing Norgay) , so she prefers to sleep on the attendant’s bed which is much lower. This has led to various amusing incidents. Last evening she was taking a breather during her walk and held onto the side rail of the bed and to a casual onlooker she appeared to be bent over ready to be spanked or caned, while the visitors were all sitting on chairs and three of us were lounging on the hospital bed…… And that was the time the doctor came for her rounds and didn’t see the lighter side of life. Early today morning the nurse pulled back the blanket to check Anu’s BP and other similar medical tests……. Only to discover ME under the blanket, much to our mutual amusement. Now whenever I step out of the room all the nurses giggle, probably thanking their stars that they did’nt have to give Anu a sponge bath….. I think Anu would be discharged today, and it has nothing to do with Florence Nightingale discovering me under the blanket on the hospital bed.
