4th day after

An opened fig flower
It's the 4th day after the op. I've finished one bottle of painkillers. Time to buy more. I have this dreadful headache which I think is the result of the graft which is near my right ear. That would account also for my balance in walking which I'm having some difficulty. Because of this I stay mostly in bed. Don't want to risk falling down the stairs and making things worse. Our sisters in the kitchen have been very kind to me. They boil apples and pears so I can eat something when I'm hungry. And they make soup or other soft food like eggs and keep them in the fridge so I can eat them when I want. Last night the superior Sr. Clara brought ice cream to my room as well ... I was already asleep but I woke up and ate it. After all, it's ice cream.

The rains have come ... but only in the north. There are videos showing flooded streets and stalled cars ... as usual our drought-stricken country is never ready for rain. It's such a rarity I think people now actually enjoy flooded streets and stalled cars.  https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Northern-Israel-faces-welcome-winter-weather-569275

But the coming of the rains also mark the end of the fruit season. Figs that have not been harvested now burst open revealing the tiny florets. Wild parakeets love to eat them because of the sweet nectar. The figs that we eat are actually buds, not the fruit.

Since Friday's escalation of tit-for-tat attacks between jews and arabs, now some rabbis have stepped up to warn that tensions have reached a point where there's no turning back. Well even we here can feel that. For one thing, if arabs were the terrorists, their homes would be demolished. If jews were the perpetrators, no such thing will happen.   https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-said-killed-in-west-bank-crash-caused-by-settler-stone-throwing/
