Report of 3 July '08
Hello from Indiana -
We are well and hope the same with you. This business of being away from the family is starting to get to me. I talked to them last week and there were lots of laughs; Naren had news about how he was not cast in the 11th grade play though there were plenty of other 12th graders cast to help out, as he was too white. We laughed. I think he looks anything but white, he is dark-skinned and dark-haired, but my sister, Anu, thinks his features are Caucasian. Navin has been forced to exercise, and is way less than enthusiastic about it. Also provoking laughter. Scott had instructions to take our friends, Anita and Bryan Sigler visiting from Florida, out to eat but it looked like contact had not been made yet.
Work is fine. I have a patient who is HIV +, and she wept as she mentioned how she'd contracted it from her ex-husband. She has a little daughter, and states she is living for her. I referred this woman to a psychiatrist to help her manage her mental status, and we discussed her body, the blood tests that the Aids specialist was ordering, etc. She returned today and tweaked my hair as she went into the room, and I was delighted - she was feeling better, apparently, and we did indeed have a good visit. Her initial appointment with the psychiatrist went fine.
Tomorrow, we celebrate the 4th of July. I will go to a concert with some friends and watch some fireworks. During the day, I will be at Kris and Gabe's house watching a zillion movies. I am totally enjoying the YMCA; the workouts are great fun.
This truly is a world for the money-ed, isn't it. Thank goodness the destitute exist, so that they may tap into a piece of our hearts, souls and spirits that haven't been tainted by all that money and materialism. What I love about the U.S. is how easily the different layers in society mix: the person next to my family at Wendy's could either be a CEO or a janitor.
