Pamela Schifano – @pammypoo on Substack

Harvey got moved back to the nursing home last night. We went to see him today. He is receiving vibration treatments to bring up the phlegm, suction to remove as much as possible, antibiotics, and oxygen. He was uncomfortable with unproductive coughing, but hopefully that will ease more every day as they remove the congestion. He was pretty much unresponsive, exhausted by the stay in the hospital and his condition, and was asleep when we left. He did know we came and squeezed our hands a bit.

The rest of the day has been good. I just came home from the cafe, where I finished three paintings –

I love the way small apartment houses sometimes have three different colors under one roof.

I had a stuffed ‘angel’ with a frog’s ceramic head when we lived in AR. It was one of the many things I had to leave when we moved. I missed her, so this time I painted a male fairy god frog to watch over me.

It rained several times today, but the sun is shining now. Roller coaster weather – challenging to deal with, but I’m learning.

We got the paperwork from the hospital for Harvey’s stay. We’ll copy everything, write a cover letter, include proof of payment, and hope they will cover this and reimburse us.
