Yesterday we visited our friend who is bedridden in hospital. We had last seen him two weeks ago, before the latest crisis brought him back once more to the emergency room. On that visit, he had been much less responsive, being barely aware that he had visitors. In the interim he has lost a considerable amount of weight. He is on oxygen, and is undergoing kidney dialysis. Perhaps because of the dialysis, he is more alert today than the last time we saw him. His loving, patient wife comes daily to attend to his needs, gently spoonfeeding him. His voice is weak. Speaking requires much effort, and his breathing is raspy and harsh. Yet he can make himself understood. He wants his wife to bring some white asparagus on her next visit.
