G W Hospital, my real standby as I age

Since I was 52 years of age, I've been able to make use of the George Washington University Hospital.

The other day, the dermatology department came across a skin wound I suffered in 1985(?).  I was coming home from teaching an evening class in computers at Golden Gate University, when on the Bart train, someone on the platform of the Oakland downtown station pointed a handgun at the window in the train car I was seated and shot.  The bullet shattered the glass at my eye nearest the window.  The plexiglass saved my life; but the force of the bullet grazed my cheek below.

I didn't think I was sufficiently injured to require first aid; and I declined to go to a hospital for treatment.

A dermatologist at GW just received results of a biopsy of that injured tissue he took as part of a routine check.  I will need surgery right away.  It may occur in time to prolong my life!

That's the kind of medical care I've been receiving since now back in DC! 

Hey,I've got a DC health aide! (I hope for good!)

I've been asking of her what I need from a health aide and so far it's working out.  I need to think of her ;as providing auxiliary limbs and another 5 senses so that I can achieve what is needful or useful that I should do. 

And, with that in mind, the health aide and I move ahead to achieve a better world as a team.

PS: The health aide need not be a female.  I might have a man sometimes. So far; so good.

You got to give a little, take a little--that's the story of my life in DC!

Management here at my residence has taken away my privilege to use the community computers in our social room.

But I may be able to install and make use of another system that enables me computer usage from my room!  It will take time to get the hang of it, because it's not that user-friendly, however.

I could access my blogs in my room while I stayed in Vegas, which wasn't over a year, sometime ago.  The federal agency I'm associated with had made the necessary installation through the cable company there, so it was a snap to use in communications.

Anyhow, happy FOURTH!
