In casual conversation I commented, “Everyone seems to have had a tour of Santa Barbara’s fabulous new Cottage Hospital except me.”
Well I got it!!! More than I asked for.
It wasn't the regular tour I expected
There are small sitting/dining areas off each bedroom. This is my view from there. Even a stream flowing by beneath my window
There are all the hospitally things that could be needed
I'm not being deprived of getting my daily NCSI. A huge screen across from my bed
Food is excellent. Vegetables nice & crispy. However you can't get your filet cooked rare.
J. J. Mitchell photographed a small Farmers Market for me in the garden outside my window

These long halls were filled with more devoted friends than I can name coming & going. I cannot express my gratitude.
Every time I open my eyes I find a dear caring friend sitting there. Patty de Gramont was holding all this beautiful springtime in her arms when I opened my eyes to find her.
Patty de Gramont came out from behind the mass of my favorite daffodils.
J.J. Mitchell was there guarding his Aunt Bubbly even when his ever faithful mother Susie was in attendance.
Clarisa Ru from San Marino was there on one awakening. And she brought me something very special
Everyone has been so wonderful to me — dear longtime friends, smiling new friends from staff. Unfortunately this isn’t the end of this experience. Today I face several hours surgery and ultimately move on to Rehab where new faces and experiences await.
Susie & J J Mitchell don't leave my side. Expecting to wake up on operating table & see their eyes above masks looking over surgeons shoulders still protecting Aunt Bubbly.
One thing moving with me will be my dear little Fluffy whom Clarisa Ru brought to cheer me up. And he makes me smile indeed.
So until Fluffy and I get back to you…
We send Happy Easter Greetings. And I hope we are back soon.
