Pondering the prospect of Harriet not returning as soon as anticipated, we wonder if it might be appropriate at take Megan back to Nevada, in order that she might find work, etc.
M is keen on the prospect and actually not feeling all that well at present,
so
the
head
to
the
hospital
is
a
solo
endeavor.
Arrive in time for Harriet's physical therapy, am able to see many of the excercises that she should do a regular basis and confident that the two of us can continue with them when she is released. Harriet's condition has improved markedly -- she is free of intravenous and breathing apparati, sitting and standing up during the course of events, and in good spirits, all things considering
(to the surreal counterpoint of Marilyn Monroe's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes [Ain't necessarily so, of course]).
In discussing situation with the therapist and her,
we feel that Megan can be set at liberty to return to life as normal.
Call our Reno relative re this,
and by time of return,
she is all packed --
bags actually outside -- and ready to go.
We
fly
up
into
the
Sierra
and
over
the
Summit,
down
towards
Donner Lake,
through Truckee Meadows
and
the
spectacular
Canyon
beyond,
hitting
Nevada
just
into
the
first
quarter of the Superbowl,
where Packers fan
Dawn is happy to function as receiver, with food and drink at hand.
Lingering until almost halftime,
it's
time
to
return
in
the
joyously
setting splendor
homeward,
checking in with Harriet several times. Finish composing Psalm 46, do another piano-vocal-into-orchestration page (5) of New Big People Old Trouble So Sunday (finishing I. New -- 33 pages total, beginning II. Big, first 3 pages) and the next Pied Piper Suite video
(III. Badinerie - No Trifling).
