This Too Shall Pass

I was hospitalized last week for six days because of a bowel blockage.  It's like a bad case of gas times ten.  Alex pulled another stint with me all day in the ER.  Fortunately, the conservative treatment of putting me on IV fluids only for a couple of days did the trick.  Also morphine, my old friend, was helpful too.  Otherwise I would have to have undergone surgery if the blockage had not passed.  Whew!  Some of the nursing staff remembered me from January and one even asked how my mom was doing.  Thanks to their care I am back at my favorite Korean food truck Bulgogi and Kimchi!
