since Georgetown Univ Hospital is Jesuit run-replete with crucifixes in each room rather than crosses- the "help" can:t be declined - after all it is for "your own good". Not as impressive as when I was a cradle catholic with nuns in full habits and wimples and elegantly (compared to parish priests)black suited jesuits as now it is just fellow laypersons. I digress
So I just did the whole program in a half hour: "grapevining down the corrridors, :race walking (and beating handily)the therapist . the one foot in front of the other in a straight line, walking backwards ("too fast - be careful) knee high stepping (with bandleader exagerated baton hand gestures gratuitioudly added) and doing the stairwell eyes shut ("please open your eyes - the point isn't to show off"), So now I am formally excepted from the dawn of he dead zombie march ("that's just cruel-you're one of the lucky ones") The last one did prompt me to reply about no comparison between Stage IV cancer recurrence and knee or hip surgery which the walkers had. Trach tube may bee out tomorrow and pathology report due then or Wed. Praying for clear margins.
