Time to write

(1992 December)

The woman sitting at my table ... is a little odd. Many people here have been sent by their doctors. Margaret Scott pushes her sister around and around until 4 p.m. when relieved by a school girl and then she can write. [Scott was a prolific local historian.]

Knitting class

(1992 December)

The knitting class [that Polly volunteered to give at the Schmitt Home] never got started. I talked to the woman in charge of activities, very interested but not started. Remarked supplies could be at hand at Vergil and Connies, a RC store. Well - I offered.

Every type of wheel chair invented rolls past my open door. God bless these brave people rolling along.

Box lunch

(1992 December)

Yesterday I slept thru dinner, and Jean fixed me up a box lunch - sandwich and apple. Good to be where there are people, and it is also good to be home, which is where I wish I were.

Prayer helps

(1992 ?November)

Sometimes I think how useless this all is - it's about time for me to be dying anyway, and I am performing no useful service any more, unless it is prayer.

Clueless

(1992 ?November)

We kept appointment at hospital with young lady who ran a heart machine. I lay on a hard couch on a hard pillow while she ran her heart machine, which made a noise and showed the heart beating in a nearby movie. When the hour was over, I said, "How did I do?" And she said, "I have no idea. That is for the docor to say."

Fire drill

(1992 December)

We had a fire drill a few minutes ago. I am near an exit so not much of a distance.
