Hellish Hair Day in Hospital

I know it’s superficial to focus on this in a medical crisis, but I just caught a glimpse in the mirror in el baño, as the room is labeled. Omigosh, I need a shampoo and makeup. My Prada lipstick 💄 in Room 57 North should help. 

I’m here for my brother John, who is seriously ill with heart failure, a raging infection after hernia surgery complications, downturn in liver and kidney functions. I got here to Bellevue Hospital on First Avenue and 26th Street in New York City by 5 a.m today. I left last night by 9 p.m., when night fell over the nearby East River and FDR Drive. 

Sis will be here by noon (train from Connecticut). It’s an honor to hold a place by my brother’s bed. And when angels come, I would like to be present.
