Worrying News

[pastafreak]

Today I was distracted. I'd not heard from my elder brother in N.Y. for over a week...this is not like him. I kept checking my phone for emails. Even if we don't exchange long "letters", we still send odd bits...he always sends me articles dissing the current administration. But I'd had nothing...and no reply to my email of several days ago..
At the start of our weekly meeting at work, I discovered an email from my daughter. It was titled "my dad"...my first thought was, "what has he done now".
It was a forwarded message from one of my nephews...my brother took ill over the weekend. Collapsed or fell...so they had him admitted to hospital. He has minor pneumonia, very low BP...apparently normal for him...edema, and a number of other issues. But, he's improving very slowly. I can't contact my SIL until late...their evening. So hopefully I'll get more info then. But I'm worried...a lot.

That sounds a bit more promising, Pasta.

Hi pastafreak, hope your bros okay but at his age isn’t it better for you to phone him instead of waiting for his emails?

Hi jahulaye...he's in the US. And we both like writing. I tried to get him interested in WhatsApp or Skype but he's not. And there's also the time difference.
