THE LPN ENTERED THE ROOM, GREETED ME, AND SAID..................



=================================================


THE LPN SAID


........ HOW IS COOPER ?   not "How are You" 


THE BURLY FIREFIGHTER APPROACHED MY CAR at the intersection of Beneva and Bee Ridge. I reached for a Five Dollar Bill and gave it to him for a Firefighter's Benevolent fund. He responded with GREAT DOG!


I WENT INTO the Pet Supply store on Beneva and Webber.  A shop clerk saw me as I got out of the car.  As I entered she had already placed three cans of Cooper's Digestive Care food on the counter.

THAT DOG HAS FRIENDS!

A BIT ABOUT HIM.

He was born in Wauchula, a small town fifty or so miles north east of Sarasota.  Unusually, his adoption papers note his date of birth: March 20th 2022.  

(Wauchula is a city and the county seat of Hardee County, Florida, United States. As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 4,900.)

Cooper was surrendered to the Humane Society of Sarasota County on May 22nd 2024  (what had he been up to for those two years in Hardee County?)

We decided to live together on June 20th 2024.  It was a great decision for me and for Cooper,

As the firefighter said  GREAT DOG

P.S.  The LPN is a member of staff at a Dermatological Clinic on Honore and University Parkway.

FLYING HOME: Such a scare. Such a good brother. SUCH A GREAT BROTHER Almost a disaster.

On Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. I set off by long distance coach ('bus) from Bristol to LHR for my flights back to SRQ via ATL. En route I rummaged through my carryon bag only to discover that I'd left my passport in the Hotel room. Gadzucks; my flights home were under threat. At LHR at the Delta reps. told me that the cut off for boarding was 10:30 a.m.  NO PASSPORT?   NO FLIGHTS HOME! (for days?) I 'phoned my brother Martyn to relate my tale of woe. Dear Martyn raced to  the Hotel (six or so miles west from his home); and grabbed my passport. Then (breaking speed limits) he drove like Jehu on the eastbound Motorway from Bristol to LHR There he handed me the passport, at about 10:15 a.m. Then the DELTA staff surrounded me with what I can only describe as tenderness and efficiency to make sure that I boarded in time. The team of Martyn Povey/Delta staff be praised!

News About My Vascular Surgery

Image
  It's been a long time coming but I now have an early timetable for the essential (but not critical) surgery to improve the blood flow to my right leg. There is no pain in that leg, but a dull ache which makes it difficult to walk.   This has been happening for years. The time has come for surgery without which I could develop severe wounds which would not heal; or even gangrene. This morning I had an excellent consultation with Dr. Inkyoung K Parrach; and Dr. Douglas Dorsay.  Dr.Dorsay has been my primary vascular Doctor for many years. Sadly he has Parkinsons disease; so his forte is diagnosis not surgery. Dr. Parrach will be the surgeon. The Doctors are unanimous in their recommendation that the surgery should take place after my visit to the United Kingdom.  This is primarily because it will be complicated surgery, with a three-day hospital stay. I will have a stress test on July 7th, with a view to surgery on July 16th. How fortunate I am to have excellent...
