I'm not superstitious. But a lot of devices I own broke down before and during this challenging time. The Friday before the surgery, my laptop went bonkers. A possible fried motherboard. David Ashrafi of City Computers in Rockville fixed it.

The morning of the surgery, 5 am, my cell phone went. I could get and make calls from a white screen; no access to messages or my address book. A week or so later, after I added Mary G as an account manager to my Verizon account, she scoped out the current market, called me, and bought a nice new replacement phone.

Fran stayed over the first night and the the next morning the coffee maker went. The next time she came over, she brought one of hers.

Not a device but something you'd probably research and buy yourself...Julia searched the probiotics shelves of Whole Foods for a probiotic to introduce good flora into the system after the antibiotics cleaned out everything, bad and good.

  1. I forgot. The bathtub faucet started to leak, requiring 2 visits by the plumber. And with summer temperatures coming on, the veneer on my front door popped off the interior fire protection material, making it impossible to close. But Bill, who will replace the door, nailed the veneer back down so that it closed and locked while we're waiting for a new door.
