Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Hi good gentle readers! I did an overnight in hospital and "true to what’s said" you can’t sleep in hospital." I watched a great movie about a basketball player from Richmond high school who won all the school records (20 years ago) comes back to coach the team. Black school, drugs and gang violence, 50% graduation rate, and that is expected and accepted. Basketball is All these kids have or will ever have (accepted). But this coach is brought on to change that. Coach is played by Samuel L. Jackson Coach Carter who tries to make student-athletes, boys into men. Good job. Tried to sleep at 10, but just too restless, was nudged awake by coughing at 2, joined by nurse and aid, got hot tea with honey and an oxygen treatment. Found EWTN and found Rosary and morning Mass at 5am. Back to sleep and awakened at 7 to meet new day nurse (Dennis, a traveling nurse from Pensacola Beach, transitioned to Faith!) My goal today is breakfast ( I ordered a cheese omlet, apple sauce, yogurt and herbal tea with honey from Dave in room service. Then get a shower, walk around, sit in chair. Read, watch TV. Doctors are still trying to zero in on cause of pneumonia. Nasal swab came back negative for MRSA. I am so glad I came here though. I don’t think lying in bed at home or hotel I would have stopped coughing or healed. Chuck enjoyed car festival and went to the American Legion for St Patrick’s dinner! He can’t find the camera. I could smack him for that as now I’ll have to come back to Kingman at street festival time. Oh darn; Road Trip!!! Well. Dears it’s time to enjoy St Patrick’s Day! Please pray for my brother in law George who was in our wedding. Very sweet man, very sick, might be facing his last days. Good bless you George! You are my first brother! God bless us! Ta ta for now! Susie on Adventure.
