Slyvia

Slyvia, one of the real treasures, had a replacement aorta valve put in last week. She is doing even better than expected but she is still in ICU.

The level of concern for her is touching. Everyone wants to know how she is. Paula, one of her tablemates, is a small wisp of a 94 year old woman with a wonderful way about her. I had talked to Slyvia's son and Paula wanted to know how she was. "How is she?" Then she pointed a boney finger at me and said in a stern voice "And the Truth!" Fortunately I was able to honestly give her a good report.

Health, or the lack thereof, is very important around New Pointe.
