Fall Yet ?

The morning are cooler and the days are shorter , so it must be close to my favorite time of the year FALL . I am looking forward to the Indian summer which last in this latitude until almost Xmas. The lake and surrounding area take on the colors of fall and are wonderful to see. James L Burk Or William Faulkner could do justice to what I see ever day.The winter birds will start returning soon and I (and my cat) enjoy watching the show they always put on for us.
VJ returns in the morning to have her second cataract surgery and she is so looking forward to getting it behind her and me too. She continues on the new med , but I don't see much improvement in her gait and I think her speech has deteriorate a little , of course she talks mostly to me and my hearing is poor so maybe the problem is not all her speech ! She continue to avoid outside events , preferring smaller venues. She does continue to have the good attitude and seem optimistic about the future.

The hospital is moving in a positive direction, I think we have a good management team in place. If we can keep the politician at bay and get the change we have ask for in our contract with QHR , i think we can move forward to build the rooms in Clayton and become profitable again, this of course will depend on what impact the new health care bill has on local hospital. The more I read the more it appears the bill is targeted to large medical centers , the thinking of the Washington crowd there can be more cost saving and better control in a larger Central setting .This thinking could turn the community hospitals into band aid stations or just dark blights on the local communities landscapes. I hope none of the above is true , but after all we are at the mercy of folk in Washington who seem to have lost touch with the folks at home (us). Remember the only job your elected official has is to stay in office and we come after that.Enough of that , what do I know ?

Golf game is OK , boat still hanging on the hoist . Mom did a little stay in the hospital but is back home and doing well. Kid seem to be OK don't hear from them a often , but they have there life and maybe I will see them soon.

may go to the movie this afternoon with VJ Life is Good !
