Your hip surgery, my headache, David Sedaris

If there were only a few hours, it would be great to escape. Someone brings it I Bowl of nuts and water glass. On the table, I mentioned the lady who roared at me at CVS. Mike then tells us a woman found Ted Koppel at a farm stall in Maryland, holding a basket of avocados.

“Make avocado sauce?” she asked.

He reportedly replied, “Your damn business is not available.”

The next morning, I looked back at the night of the holiday and said that there were still many parties to be held. “Hope you can join me for Christmas lunch in Antonio in two weeks. We had a great time last year, remember?”

“Two weeks!” Xiu signaled to his outstretched legs. “Look at me! Are you not in your heart?”

John, who went to buy a juicer that morning, put a cup of something that was poured out like wet cement in front of his brother and raised the sound, which was different from him. “My God, David. He just had major surgery!”

I raised my voice. “Okay, sorry! I thought he ended up It might get better!transparent

Through outsourcing care, I turned myself out. Now I want to come back, but it’s too late. “No matter what you do, don’t give him a bell,” Amy brought Hugh an empty one, and she could put in several quarters.

clang,,,,, clang,,,,, clangI hear it when I sit on my desk. Clang, clang.

“How can I help?” I asked and ran to the bedroom.

“John is downstairs,” said the adjourn. “Go to him and tell him I need to wear socks.”

I will roll up my sleeves. “I can do it for you.”

“Just go find John.”

The two are inseparable and they gather their dreams every morning. “So I went back to Port Angeles, under the dark sky, deep-fried-fry in a frying pan.” I grabbed John a week after he arrived, as he sat on the edge of the bed, massaged the oil to Hug’s feet. “I might be wrong, but I interpret it as meaning I can use more copper and iron in my diet.”

While dining, the brothers reflect on their childhood in Africa. “Remember the CIA agent who was obsessed with his mother in Djibouti?” “What is the name of the Belgian nun we gave to our monkeys in Ethiopia?”

It’s hard to join the conversation. This is the opposite of when Amy visited. Shortly after Hugh’s surgery, she let the elderly rabbit Tina fall asleep. A few days later, her nose was stuffed and her eyes were swollen, so she came for supper.

“Is this a cold?” John asked.

“Actually,” Amy said, “I think I’m allergic to Tina’s ghost.”

Hug had an older sister named An. One morning, I walked into the dining room and found him talking to her on the speaker. “Do you have a comfortable chair?” she asked.

The answer is usually yes, but, due to his hips, he has to be raised while sitting. “If I put a mat on it, there are still some people who can,” Hugh said. “I saw a perfect thing in my doctor’s office yesterday, but David couldn’t allow it to enter the apartment. It’s so ugly.”

“Okay, twist him,” I heard Ann say. “We’re talking about your health here!”

The next morning, she sent a text that said “David is helping you?”

Before Hugh answered, I picked up his phone and typed, “Not at all”, adding a skunk emoji – my first time – notorious.

I hope she can use “you’re kidding” or “I don’t believe in a second response”.

Instead, she wrote: “That kind makes me angry. But he is so selfish.”

Instead of texting her, I went back to the office and resumed writing in my diary. Self-participation,,,,, indeed,I think. Hugh didn’t show me the chair he was talking to Ann, but, if it was so ugly, I’m sure he didn’t want it either. Why am I a villain here?

Hugh left the painkiller after the third day. After the eighth time, he threw the walker aside and was able to walk around with his cane. He slowly reached the hall and then to the corner. Now he doesn’t need much attention, and I start taking John to see the city. One afternoon, on train C, we met a peeing person and probably had been doing this for a while. The stench of old urine is so strong that half of the subway cars are cleared. He was neither awake nor asleep, and he sat next to a plate of vodka bottle, muttering.

CheckI think, because that’s what every visitor in New York needs to see. After watching the man for a moment or two, John said not on the smell or the ridiculous Santa hat the man wore, but in his hands. “Did you notice how beautiful they are?” he asked.

I took him to lunch at a deli in Carnegie Hills. Just as our order arrived, I heard someone ask, “Can we take pictures?”

I must? I thought, looking at my right, realizing that this guy wasn’t talking to me, but talking to Kevin Spacey.

“Has he not been cancelled?” John asked much more than he needed.

“It’s still quite a star,” I told him, thinking, Check!

We went to the Metropolis Motherand then the fancy souvenir shop so that John can buy sweatshirts for his grandson. In Times Square, he stood still and took pictures of the people who worked in that community cursed the people among us. When we got home, I said to Hugh, “I even took him to Rockefeller Center to see the trees.”

That was huge because no one in their right mind was walking anywhere near Rockefeller Center from Thanksgiving to mid-January.

“What do you want, a medal?” Xu asked.

I tried to remember that he was still in pain and that he was stuck inside for thirty minutes a day, and he was a little crazy. It was difficult for both of us, but it became easier when John returned to Washington State shortly before Christmas. That morning, I accompanied him to his surgeon’s office for a follow-up date.

“Are there any problems?” Dr. Reif asked after removing Hugh’s bandage to examine the wound.

“Yes,” I said. “Did you see why he can’t make Christmas dinner? We had nine guests coming and he threatened to cater to it.”

The doctor replaced the bandage. “Oh, I think he’s going to do it. That said, you might want to choose some shortcuts, using stuffing on the stove instead of something homemade.”

“filling From the box?” I said when I returned to the street. period? It seems like we will have Türkiye on Christmas Day! That man did it no You know who he is talking to, right? ”

“No, he didn’t.” Hug sniffed, lifted his crutch to the hail taxi. And, he is back. Christmas almost killed him, but there were no shortcuts. He made a second main course for vegetarians and two desserts. In a few days, he might even stir his butter.

I left New York in early January and went back to tour, and when I saw the holiday again, he was fully recovered six weeks later. Walk, swim, go up and down stairs. “This is a miracle!” he said.

I once met a young man who stumbled upon one of his kidneys died inside him. The doctor removed it and when I asked what happened to the cavity, he said his other organs moved slightly to occupy it. Hugh’s pain fills the space. This is not to say that we are now dedicated only to political or artistic appreciation, although both themes have become bigger, just like our family and our friends. The pleasure of our lives swelled together when he became his old self again, with everything except for a half bottle of Oxycontin and a very tall toilet seat gathered beside the aluminum walker next to the dam of our building, next to the dam of our building, the unwilling basement. ♦
