March 4th. Today's the day that Fiorella shows up at the hospital to get her pacemaker replaced. She has to be there by 8:00 in the morning, and Son L will be accompanying her. In the meantime, she's not supposed to eat anything, she can't sleep, and she's bored stiff. This may be all you hear from Fio today, but please wish her well.
Afterwards! Although she was told to come in early, Fio's procedure didn't take place till mid-afternoon, which meant that the roads were all clogged up, which meant that your girl got back later than expected, which means she hasn't even read the morning newspaper yet. Or played the piano....
Speaking of, The Austin American-Statesman--for whom Fio used to write a neighborhood column years ago--will not be publishing its Saturday pages in print anymore.
Yep, the times, they are a-changing.
