YEP, SPRUNG, FREEDOM, HOME AT LAST, SAID GOODBYES, BIG LUNCH IN VENICE SATURDAY WITH FRIENDS AT GIANNI'S ON ZATTERE. HAD THE EXIT INTERVIEW...AT THE HOSPITAL. HOPE NEVER TO RETURN WHICH IS NOT A CONDEMNATION OF CA' FONCELLO. I JUST WISH THEY HAD TOLD ME MORE. PATIENTS DO NOT GET MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR CONDITION FROM THE STAFF. iT WAS A BLACK HOLE AT CA FONCELLO. GUESS IT'S THE ITALIAN WAY...MAI PIU FOR ME. hAVE A FOLLOWUP INTERVIEW AT HOSPITAL 29 jUNE. I AM ON MY GAME . NO FURTHER HALLUCINATIONS, SOME HEADACHES, SOME CONFUSION, HARD TO CONCENTRATE, MAY SKIP THE COURSE ON CHINESE IDEOGRAMS. Lots of sleep required.
Bleak and cold in Venice...nice to see friends and locals again, the favourite bar in S Margherita, the fruiterer, the Phillipine news agent, the wine merchant, though not sure of allowable wine consumption in my recuperative state. I received no proscriptions. Except a surgeon told me on the last day...NO SEX!. Hunh?
Thanks to all who offered condolences and sympathy..and to those who helped Laurie and me along the way. Especially Frank O'Hallloran, Venice's favourite Irish-American.
xx Howard (back in Venice)
