In the swim/hospital?


 Posted by PicasaFransa took me to the Medi-Clinic today. We went to visit a fiesty swimmer called Riette, who has been in hospital since yesterday because of a suspected tumor on the brain.
She swims with Simon Gray and is quite spirited. When she smiles the corners of her mouyth turn into sharp corners, like Dennis Quaid's (The picture above is not Riette, incidentally).

After Riette we visited Ronel, who is being fed antibiotics through a drip. Dinner was served while we were visiting, and blood pressure was also being measured. I asked the nurse if she would measure mine:

115/69

My pulse came in at 44 and set off the alarms. Seems like my heart is still in decent shape.
