So tomorrow we leave for Japan.  The amazing cardiologist Prof Viskin who is in charge of cardiology at Ichilov, followed Ezi’s apple watch and declared that the monitoring was sufficient.  He gave Ezi pills for alleviating any situation that might occur – but he would be warned about it by his watch.  

He spent something like an hour considering the case, and I suddenly remembered we had a birthday party to get to.  Shifra Lancet turned 100.  She was always Sarah’s younger cousin to me, the one who idolized her exciting life, while Sarah herself was blase about her time in pre-war Germany, her wild social life in Tel Aviv, etc, etc.  She was as wise as Sarah, however, even though she didn’t have as wild a life.  Maybe wiser.  She has made her life in the protected living home as comfortable and creative as possible.  Art, fiction, crafts – she did everything.  Now she’s not doing so much, but her family presented her in her most creative light and she was thrilled.  

I wonder what it would have been like to have a grandmother.

The kids came for sushi right after and after this fulfilling day, I’m comfortable about leaving – almost everything has been solved.
