Braunstein Speaks

Braunstein’s Daughter Speaks: Still Speaking

I hate to disappoint you all, but…

I know that I promised you all that my dad would be posting a column very, very soon.

I know that I assured everyone that he would have Wi-Fi access in the rehabilitation facility.

I know that you’ve all been waiting patiently.

But it’s just me, Daughter of Braunstein, once again. Turns out that while he does indeed have Wi-Fi in his building, actual access is a matter of pure luck. He did not immediately realize this. He mentioned to a doctor there that he would be posting a column later that afternoon.

“How?” asked the doctor. “You can’t get on the internet here.”

My dad was puzzled. “I just got a connection last night, on my first try. I decided to wait to post today, seeing that there were no problems…”

The doctor just laughed, and told him that he was obviously the luckiest guy in the building, but not to expect it to happen again. And he was right. It hasn’t.

My father is continuing to make an amazing recovery. Already, he can transfer himself from bed to wheelchair, from wheelchair to chair, completely by himself. The physical therapists are astounded, and expect him to be ready to go home in a week or two. He has a terrific roommate, a sailor, and the two of them are raising already legendary hell in the hallways. That party they threw the other day will live on in infamy….

Thank you for all your good wishes. We should be able to get him posting again shortly.

(At least they came through on the Fox News!)
