"If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you," . . .

Above are the first lines of a Rudyard Kipling

poem.

The phrase that was popular when I was in

college was:

"If you can keep your head when all about you

are losing theirs. . . then perhaps you just do

not UNDERSTAND the situation."

I know, wierd, but I find this useful to keep in

mind when endeavoring to communicate with

doctors and hospitals and other "healthcare"

providers.

I just finished endeavoring to communicate with

Edna's orthopedic surgeon who explained to me

and to her sons that she must put only 40 lbs of

pressure or weight on her surgerized leg.Neat trick, if you have the right technology. . .

or. . . Perhaps the doctor just doesn't "under

stand the situation."

Edna is doing very well at the rehab. center and

sends her love to all of you,

Love, too,
