Hi Donna,

My sense of humor wore thin this evening.

After waiting 71 minutes in my room to be transferred from the wheelchair to the bed, I said to hell with it and rolled out of my room to get some fresh air, a childish but satisfying act of rebellion.

As usual, I was lucky.

After cranking my wheelchair up to 3.8 mph, I noticed a fine rabbit next to the sidewalk around the building and stopped to admire it for quite a while. The rabbit eyed me suspiciously, but soon went back to browsing the grass and weeds, letting me enjoy the spectacle at a distance of about 15 feet.

When the rabbit finished gobbling the grass and slow-hopped onto the gravel, where its fur was excellent camouflage, I set off again, finished my lap around the building, rolled down the hallways to my room, and was quickly put to bed after being asked how long I'd been waiting.

All's well that ends well.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel
