I recently had to go out of town for some surgery. I needed a place to stay between the time of surgery and the day I could return to Alaska. I stayed with an old friend, Janis.
On the day of the surgery, I came down with the flu. We didn’t know this till I came out of surgery and was quite ill with symptoms that obviously had nothing to do with the procedure. After almost crying when the doctor told me he wanted to keep me in the hospital for an extra day, he finally agreed to discharge me
