Honey, I am home! Early evening. Met Bob and Lisa (the FBI agent) at Esperanto, on 9th Street and Av. C. Unfortunately the band that was supposed to play never arrived. But the food was good and so were the mojitos and the caipirinhas. One of the waiters was from Argentina and he has been a vegetarian for a whole week, the poor guy! He needed some encouragement and I tried to provide it. We were joined for dinner by Michael, another friend of Bob's. This guy used to be over 300 pounds, he slimmed down to 168 and is now a rock solid 220 who only works out in hard core gyms (with "no boys in shorts carrying around Evian bottles", in his own words) and is studying to specialize in exercise for the morbidly obese.
On the home front, it now seems there was no stroke, no mini strokes either. Talked to JP, who was at home with my mom, and to my sister too. Doctors have already discarded their first idea, which was a metastatic brain tumor (they are always so optimistic!) and their second too (brain damage from strokes). The CAT scan shows some damage in the back of her brain, but not consistent with her symptoms. That dead tissue is probably from a prolonged infection, such as the one in her amputated leg. Now they tend towards some kind of drug intoxication complicated by her recent lung problem.
Needless to say, I am far from convinced.
