Full moon

Full moon over Damascus Gate

The past few days have been very trying. Been diagnosed with severe ischemia but need more tests to precisely locate it. Been feeling very weak and unable to walk or climb stairs. Nausea and numbing right arm. But because it's the jewish feast of Sukkot that lasts 8 days, no one is sure when my blood test results will be out - one said by noon, another said after 2 days ... it depends if there are lab technicians working. Same for hospital admission and surgery schedules. No one is sure if the dept is open or if doctors are working. It's been very stressful to try and get info or confirmation for anything. It's all waiting and waiting for the end of Sukkot before we actually can know if anyone is working at all.

Meantime the full moon is out and it is lovely. There're daily clashes and violence here in our area ... but the moon stays aloof ... far away from our problems.
