Recovering Entities
I now have three friends in the nursing home where D. resides. D is now able to walk with the help of a walker and can even take a few steps without the aid of the walker. She will go back to the orthopedic surgeon on Friday to get his opinion. I hope that she will be able to return to her house soon. She has been laid up for about nine months now.
My newest friend to be admitted to the nursing home is Mrs. B. She is recovering from hip replacement surgery and a broken back. She should be able to be transferred to Warm Springs in about a week. I visit her every couple of days. One of her sons has a blood infection and cannot be exposed to her. The other son had surgery at Walter Reed Military Hosptal and is not quite recovered well enough to come to Thomaston and visit her. I feel that it is important to let these patients know that they have not been forgotten about.
My attempts to recover from a falling U.S. stock market have been incrementally successfull so far this year. The only thing harder than making money in this market is to not lose money…. It looks like the media are going to create a recession whether the economic conditions create one or not ! You can’t turn on the news without some pundit prognosticating about the doom and gloom in the world of money. The hedge fund managers would love a market crash. It would allow them to buy some cheap stocks. The retired people of the world are hoping and praying that nothing like that happens because their entire livelihood depends on the integrity of their investments and the people that influence them.
Uh-Oh,
