My friend is still in the hospital. He was supposed to go home today but

they decided that some more tests were needed. He has tachycardia, at least

that is what it sounded like what Pat said. His heart is beating to fast and

they may have to put something in to help it to beat slower. So he may have

to stay longer.

His wife, Pat, is a lawyer and she had to go home tonight as she has to go to

court tomorrow and she needed her files and her business clothes. I do hope

that everything goes well but he is not a happy camper tonight

Take care,

Irene

Books may well be the only true magic
