Shower of affection
February 26, 2006.
Gilly had a busy day today, with many calls from around the world and lots of visitors. He continues to shine wth his positive attitude, and all who have encountered his voice and / or smile over the last few days would attest to this. I also heard him tell a patient that he has to think positively. He also, in true Gilly form, insisted on carrying a case of Coke to his room (silly guy!), and is always first to jump up ad help someone in need, whether it be a fellow patient, a nurse or one of us.
Gilly has a huge appetite these days. He devoured the shnitzel and mashed potatoes from Edna and Mark. He has always been a meat and potato man, and he hasn't changed in that regard. He also has his figs from Keren and maple candies from Max, so he's content. When he can eat again, we'll add Marocs to the fare.
He tires for the night by around 7:00, and simply dismisses the gang and puts himself to bed. Tonight, I may ask that a block be put on his phone if the nurse wants him not to be disturbed. I'll check before I leave.
The Melnicks have lent him a DVD player with earphones, so he's all set to watch Seinfeld episodes tonight while he tries to calm downand get to sleep. He's been told to take it easy this evening and get a good night's sleep, because tomorrow is a big day.
He's off to have his first shower right now, so I'm sure I can hear him saying, "Oy, what a machaya!" right through the wall to the family room I am sitting in right now.
I will post the news tomorrow of his recovery status from the biopsy as soon as I know the score.
All of us Schwagers appreciate the showering of affection and good wishes, so please keep reflecting Gilly's positive spirit right back at him.
