Hiatus
My father-in-law is 93. Earler this week he was taken into hospital gravely ill. The hospital is 80 miles away and we have been traveling back and forth, often more than once a day. So, no blogging for the moment.
The problem seems to be angina brought on by severe anemia brought on by an acute gastro-intestinal hemorrhage brought on by a bleeding duodenal ulcer. He has a sclerotic aortic valve possibly involving the coronary ostia.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during these hard times. Blessings.
