TBW Daily Diary

Have it on petty good authority (a regular) that Nonna's opposite the Midtown Cinema has closed. Have not yet confirmed but best to call if you were planning a visit . . . The hospital visit today was a good experience for the most part. Too technical in some respects to detail here but the important part is that a stent is now in place and the kidney is draining again. Dr. Jay Goodman and his staff (even Roger who the nurses blamed when anything went astray) were wonderful. The outlook is promising . . . There was a major downside, however. My bed in the pre-op/post-op room was directly opposite the staff and patient canteen. Hadn't eaten for twelve hours and was forced to watch everyone else with their coffee, sodas and box lunches. (Even Bob had a coffee!) But when I finally got back after the procedure was completed I totally demolished everything in one of those boxes . . .
