Update

So, quick update, Bobbie had her gallbladder out Wednesday, everything seemed to go well, but then she had to go in to the emergency room Thursday, and ended up being admitted to the hospital. She had some kind of infection, but fortunately nothing was ruptured (as the doctors at first feared). She's home now, and recovering. I actually finished the L.A. Weekly crossword puzzle, and only had to go to the internet for the last letter. "Jute" is a burlap fiber (the cross word, for the clue "bewildered," was "at sea"). Not exactly the Sunday NY Times, but it's something.
