Ended up going in late today. Took the train in with an old friend of mine from growing up in Mass who is now executive producer of a TV show called 16 and pregnant. She travels around the country and gets to know all of these preggo teenagers and their families. Sounds like a really cool job. I have never seen the show (obviously).
tenant is for retail. The rite-aid bldg has residential entrance on Warren and that is done well – but in front of store part of bldg area done poorly.
rf- I have a personal overabundance of first hand surgical experience- some surgeries you recover so quickly from and the lingering aftereffects can hang on for months. Some people don’t respond well to anesthesia or aer sensitive to it. Normally they try to get you out of bed and walking within a day. The doctor had standing orders I was not to be allowed out of bed until she said so. Even with that I was waking around in 2 days and wound up staying in the hospital 2 weeks. That’s how extensive the surgery was and you can imagine how debilitating the recovery was.
There are some surgeries you cannot do through a laparascope, unfortunately. I have a friend with terrible kidney disease. Everytime she has surgery it is also extensive and they need to do a full surgical incision. It takes her weeks to recover.
Arkady: The obverse of the idea that being upbeat helps is that people who succumb could’ve beaten it or in some way invited it & that’s a really insidious concept.
I do think that the immune system is helped by attitude but it is only one part of the equation and you are right, we need to be careful with since the ill person is NOT guilty of causing their own malady by their attitude. Remember that guy Bernie Siegel — he wrote a lot about that — but he never really answered his critics very well – who said exactly what you are saying.
m4l, last time I waited 4 days and the car was behind a frozen plowed in wall of snow. Bedstuymaven helped me shovel and we gave up after 90 minutes and I paid a kid to finish the job. Parking not so bad here in the Stuy and the van is really good in the snow. I didn’t bother to go out last time because of all the reports of abandoned vehicles. But our street is plowed and salted to the pavement. (Of course that doesn’t mean I’m going to Fairway today!)

…good thing my 89 year old neighbor just got his hip replaced.
One pint of cognac and he’s good for shoveling 4-6 hours!
…under my supervision of course.
Hey,
Thumbs up if you think OL’ Mr. Winter can suck it!

My building staff is great – the snow is always off the sidewalk by the time I head out.
We have a fairly young live-in super, and I think the staff is non-union.
“L train sounds terrible, DH.”
Hipsters probably think it’s cool to live on the L. Good for them.
